Potential Geothermal Energy Use at East Coast Naval Facilities

Abstract

Naval facilities along the Atlantic Coastal Plain were evaluated for their potential as geothermal energy users. Geothermal source temperatures were determined by extrapolating surface temperature gradients to the basement. A list of these temperatures is presented. A table of non-electrical energy consumption at each facility is also presented. The source temperature and non- electrical energy consumption for each facility have been used to determine promising sites for further investigation.
