  • The Economic, Environmental, and Social Benefits of Geothermal Use in Oregon Andrew Chiasson Geo-Heat Center Oregon Institute Of
    The Economic, Environmental, and Social Benefits of Geothermal Use in Oregon Andrew Chiasson Geo‐Heat Center Oregon Institute of Technology October 2011 Oregon has a long and rich history of utilization of its geothermal resources. Today, the documented direct uses of geothermal waters are related to space and district heating, snow‐ melting, spas and resorts, aquaculture, greenhouses, and agribusiness. The Geo‐Heat Center estimates that there are over 600 direct use applications in Oregon, not including undeveloped hot springs. Boyd (2007) and Sifford (2010) provide excellent summaries of geothermal energy uses in Oregon, some of which are no longer operational, and others that have expanded their use. The first permanent geothermal power plant in Oregon was installed Figure 1. Physiographic regions of Oregon at the Oregon Institute of Technology Campus in (reproduced from graphic by Elizabeth L. Orr, 2010, and a handful of other geothermal power Geology of Oregon). projects are currently under development at the time of this report. A Brief Note on the Occurrence of Geothermal Resources in Oregon With so many uses of geothermal energy in Oregon, it is helpful to describe their occurrence in relation to geologic province and geographic county. Figure 1 shows the nine major physiographic regions of Oregon, indicating the State’s diverse geologic nature.
