| Abstract | Based on existing infurmation Indonesia archipelago is fortunate to be potentially rich in geotehonal resources except Kalimantan Mainland does not seem be promising of geothermal area but surprises are not possible. Under the ASEAN Utility/Authority Cooperation on Geothermal Energy Development since 1982, studies been made on the possibility to developed geolherma] as an alternative energy resources in the member countries including Sabah in Malaysia and. Kalimantan Indonesia. Analysis been made based on the existence of structure, lithology, volcanology, mineral association etc. Correlation ben made with the others developed geothermal countries such as Philippines, PNG, USA, Iceland, Japan, Italy and China. The paper try to pinpoint the possibiHty to find same geothetxnal spot ei1her in Kalimantan or Borneo (Sabah) and recommend tbat follow up action surveyf explQration to be made on finding geothermal potential area in Kalimantan/Borneo mainland. The scientific concept applied here be directed to the indication of pretertiary deep granJes (neogranite?) Found in Kalimantan and yOtUlg volcanic manifestation in Borneo (Sabah). The paper open for discussion both International as well as National geothermal forums such as IGAj GRC, CEPSI, NEDO, ASEANI as wells as INAGA. |
