Geothermal Resource Data, Tools, and Maps
NREL's geothermal resource portal aggregates maps, datasets, and analytic tools related to geothermal energy in the United States. It includes resource favorability maps, site screening tools, well data, and geophysical surveys. Users can explore interactive maps showing heat flow, temperature gradients, hydrothermal reservoirs, and enhanced geothermal system potential. The portal links to applications like the Geothermal Prospector and the Geothermal Play Fairway Analysis viewer and provides access to downloadable data. It serves researchers, developers, and policymakers seeking to understand geothermal resources and plan exploration or development projects.
