Abstract
The aim of this summary is to analyze the status of direct uses of geothermal energy in Japan for space heating of houses and greenhouses, domestic hot water supply, fish breeding farm heating and snow melting, by combining the inlet temperature and the flow rate of each installation. Then. the total instal led thermal power of 165MWt and the total thermal energy used of 100' MWt are estimated. They result in the average load factor of 60%. The rate of oi I saved by geothermal direct uses is also evaluated 0.04%.
