Project InnerSpace has launched GeoMap Asia, highlighting the region's massive store of untapped geothermal energy which has the potential of serving as an affordable domestic clean energy option to improve air quality while supporting economic growth and energy security.
GeoMap is a pioneering geothermal exploration tool focused on expanding the adoption of clean, always-on geothermal energy worldwide by bringing together millions of data points from the Earth's surface and subsurface in a freely accessible and interactive map.
Building on previous releases of GeoMap Africa, GeoMap North America, and GeoMap India, GeoMap Asia includes a subsurface favorability analysis to identify geothermal hot spots as well as a ranking feature in Indonesia, the Philippines and Singapore for coal plant and/or industrial facility conversions.
"Asia is driving global energy demand, and GeoMap Asia shows that the region can also drive growth of abundant, secure, and always on geothermal energy," said Jamie Beard, executive director of Project InnerSpace. "GeoMap Asia lowers the barrier to entry into geothermal for governments and industry alike by helping stakeholders identify the near term opportunities for next-generation geothermal development."
