Athugasemdir: Presented at SDG Short Course III on Geothermal Reservoir Characterization: Well Logging, Well Testing and Chemical Analysis organized by UNU-GTP and LaGeo, in Santa Tecla, El Salvador, September 16-22, 2018.
Útdráttur: The United Nations (UN) has committed to ensuring access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all by 2030, as stated in Sustainable Development Goal 7. In line with this, electricity will need to be brought to about one billion people in developing and transitional countries over a short time period. It is foreseen that a large part of this energy will come from the renewables, including geothermal energy. Capacity building is a key enabler in accelerating the utilization of geothermal energy in countries of greatest need. Based on the World Energy Council report, published in 2016, on the current world energy status and future energy scenarios, the primary energy consumption in the world was assessed as 574 EJ in 2014, with about 81% coming from fossil fuels, and only 14% from renewable energy sources. Different scenarios proposed by WEC for development to 2060 are discussed with emphasis on the potential contribution of the renewables and their prospects. The current share of renewables in energy production is mainly from biomass and hydro, but in a future envisioned through depleting resources of fossil fuels and environmentally acceptable energy sources, geothermal energy with its large technical potential, being well suited for a base load, as well as being financially competitive with the other renewable energy sources, is expected to play an important role. The status of geothermal in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) and its possible future role is discussed, as well as the capacity building activities of UNU-GTP with emphasis on LAC region.
