Abstract

Colombia has 2,210 MW resource potential for geothermal energy. However, the country’s current utilization of this resource is limited to direct uses such as bathing, swimming, and localized heating. Using the modified hotelling for geothermal resources, this report will look into the economic feasibility utilizing geothermal energy in Nevado del Ruiz Volcano Geothermal Prospect located in Colombia. Further, a review of legal and policy framework for geothermal energy within Colombia is also covered on this report.
