Abstract

The development of the Australian geothermal industry over the last decade owes much to compilations of drill hole temperature data undertaken in the early 1990s in Canberra. The portrayal of this data on maps of predicted temperature at five kilometres depth, and contained heat resource calculations from this data, have shifted the perception that because Australia does not have significant current magmatic activity there is no geothermal potential. The Australian geothermal industry arguably now leads the world in terms of development of amagmatic geothermal systems for electricity generation.
