The map "Geothermal field" shows the total amount of installed capacity (in MWe) and produced energy per year (in MWh/y) for all the countries currently using geothermal resources for electricity generation. The map has been developed using the Global Geothermal Energy Database (GGED) of the International Geothermal Association (IGA) [E. Trumpy, R. Bertani, A. Manzella, M. Sander - The web-oriented framework of the world geothermal production database: a business intelligence platform for wide data distribution and analysis - Renew Energy, 74 (2015), pp. 379–389]. The GGED can be accessed through the IGA web site, http://www.geothermal-energy.org, under the section Geothermal Energy - Geothermal Energy Database. The map has been distributed by the Institute of Geosciences and Earth Resources of the National Research Council of in Italy (CNR - IGG)

Many documents are defining a context for geothermal exploitation in a country. As the administrative levels and the geometry of that “geothermal exploitation context” could differ from one country to another a geothermal management area class has been defined. Dataset FAKE built to demonstrate, with a larger dataset, some analytic functionalities.

Industries involved in geothermal activities refer to all companies that produce components both for power production and the direct use of heat

The map of "geothermal direct use by country" shows the total amount of installed energy (in MWth) and annual use (in TJh per year) for countries using geothermal heat for different uses (e.g., Individual space heating, District heating, Air conditioning (cooling), greenhouse, Fish farming, Animal farming, Agricultural drying, Industrial process heat, Snow melting, Bathing and Swimming, Geothermal heat pumps, Other uses).
