| Abstract |
Despite suitable geological conditions and presence of many potential for geothermal energy productivity in Iran, due to lacking of high-tech instrumentation in the field of drilling, reservoir engineering and power plants construction and also due to existence of huge reservoir of oil and natural gas and cheap expenditures for energy productivity from them Iran is located at the earlier steps of this technique. On the other hand because of new policies in the government for changing the resources of energy production for domestic demands and also regarding to environmental laws, nowadays it can be seen that several organizations are working for exploration and exploitation of renewable energy resources, Ministry of energy, Center for Renewable Energy Research and Application (CRERA) and Geological Survey of Iran are among the main ones. The following report is prepared as a summary of recent activities about Geothermal Energy in Iran. |
