Abstract
The industrial potential of geothermal energy in Colorado has been little discussed in the past but industrial use is an attractive prospect for both consumers and producers/distributers of geothermal energy. This investigation was conducted to help identify the industrial market demand for geothermal energy. The 58 known low to moderate temperature geothermal sites in Colorado afford opportunities for industrial applications. The agriculture, manufacturing, travel and to some extent, the mining industry, have energy requirements that could be easily supplied by geothermal energy.
