Multi-Year Research, Development, and Demonstration Plan: 2009-2015 with Program Activities to 2025
The draft Geothermal Technologies Multi-Year Research, Development and Demonstration Plan: 2009-2015 with Program Activities to 2025 is now available for review and comments (PDF 6.9 MB)
The Geothermal Technologies Program (GTP) Multi-Year Research, Development and Demonstration (MYRDD) Plan describes the planned research, development and demonstration (RD&D) activities for geothermal technologies through 2015, with additional information on potential program activities through 2025.
This is the first publishing of this document in draft form and represents months of planning, including peer reviews and comprehensive internal analysis and evaluation. On this page you will find links to the full document as well as to a comments form.
The MYRDD reflects GTP's focus on advancing enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) technologies and its commitment, in partnership with geothermal energy developers, to demonstrate by 2015 that EGS is technically feasible. The MYRDD Plan describes in detail GTP's activities over the next seven years to achieve this goal and it projects longer-term RD&D activities based upon several EGS development scenarios.
The MYRDD Plan is available for you to review. The following documents are available as Adobe Acrobat PDF files. Download Adobe Reader.
