| Abstract | A brief analysis is performed for the three basic parameters - inlet water temperatures, flow rates and load factors - in direct uses of geothermal energy in Japan. It is found that each direct use application is characterized by means of those parameters. Finally, the total geothermal heat load in Japan is estimated 82.90 MWt. |
