EPRI Report: Enhancing Geothermal Representation in EPRI's US-REGEN Model
This report examines improvements to the representation of geothermal resources and technologies, including hydrothermal, near-field, and deep enhanced geothermal systems (EGS), in EPRI's US-REGEN capacity expansion model. Using updated datasets from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory's ReEDS model, the study incorporates temperature-based classifications and revised cost assumptions to assess geothermal deployment under six scenarios, including net-zero pathways with and without carbon capture and storage (CCS). The findings highlight the potential role of EGS in long-term energy strategies, particularly under advanced cost reduction scenarios, and provide guidelines for integrating geothermal resources into energy system models.
