What is Geological Mapping?
Geothermal mapping is the systematic process of identifying heat sources, thermal manifestations, and reservoir structures using geological, geochemical, and geophysical methods. It provides the basis for successful drilling and power plant siting.
Key Development Objectives
- Locate and quantify Ethiopia's heat flow potential
- Reduce exploration risk for private developers
- Support sustainable base-load power generation
- Identify direct-use opportunities for local industry
Ethiopia's Geological Context
Ethiopia is endowed with vast geothermal resources, primarily concentrated within the Main Ethiopian Rift. The country possesses the potential for over 10,000 MW of geothermal power, making it a critical pillar of the national green energy strategy.
