Geothermal Potential at US Air Force Bases.
Abstract
The Air Force has completed a study of the geothermal potential of USAF bases. This report lists the power generation potential, space or industrial heating potential, and geopressure potential at each USAF base. This report also discusses in detail the data available for those USAF base which exhibit the greatest potential for use of geothermal energy. Bases with significant potential that are discussed in detail include: Mountain Home (space heating), Saylor Creek Range at Mountain Home (power), Ellsworth Air Force Bases (space heating); Keesler Air Force Base (geopressurized geothermal resource*), Hill Air Force Base (space heating), and William Air Force Base (power) in the Continental United States and Bellows Air Force Base, Hawaii (Power), Lajes Air Force Base, Azores (power), and Ankora Air Station, Turkey (space heating) outside of the Continental United States. Open literature and unpublished field studies provided the basis for evaluation. (Author)
