The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) is working with the geothermal community (a network of institutes, experts and the private sector) to extend the services of the Global Atlas for Renewable Energy to cover geothermal energy.

The East African Rift region holds significant geothermal potential. This report offers recommendations to fast-track regional geothermal energy development.

This global assessment provides an overview of developments in the geothermal sector and the factors that will shape the geothermal market in the near future.

Global investment in renewables must triple to meet climate and development goals. This report provides recommendations to scale up public funds and channel them more towards developing economies.

This publication aims to increase awareness, share experiences and lessons, and provide recommendations for expanding geothermal heat use in the agri-food sector. The analysis in this document suggests the following six broad critical factors.

The report highlights the main challenges and way forward to adapt the broader UNFC specifications and guidelines to geothermal energy resources.

This series of technology briefs provides technical background information, analyses market potential and barriers and provides insights for policy makers on key types of renewable energy technology. The briefs, produced by IRENA in collaboration with the International Energy Agency’s Energy Technology Systems Analysis Programme (IEA-ETSAP), cover different technologies or processes:
