Maximize Benefit of Potential Geothermal Source for Agriculture with Area Study Gedongsongo Tourist Destination

Abstract

The Research has been done about the geothermal potential in prospect around Mt. Ungaran. In the Gedong Songo vacation area, there are some kind of geothermal system such as hot springs, fumaroles, mud pots, hot springs, steaming ground and Altered ground. Chemical content of these manifestation quite a lot, it is CO2, H2S, H2, CH4, and Ar. That Inorganic compound can be used in many ways especially in agricultural sector, for example of the manifestation in form of mud pot which rich H2S, it is very useful for tubers plant and also for seeding growth’s process. The discussion of geothermal potential in Gedong Songo is considered from earth science research. the estimation for energy in geothermal reservoir have temperature about 230oC. it is same with the energy for 11,25 MWe based on geothermometry comparative method. a source of heat like that not only can be used for electrical sector but also in agriculture as for sterilization in growing media and desiccation yielded crops, plantations, and fisheries. its outcome in agriculture areas can be processed using the heat energy for the geothermal potential area.
