this is a small amount of energy compared to the state’s total energy consumption, it does serve to offset the use of other energy— generally that of diesel fuel. But the greatest impact has been on the tourist industry, where hot springs draw thousands of visitors who spend millions of dollars each year. A far larger economic impact, however, will come with the development of geothermal electric power plants. The imminent 475-kW plant at Chena Hot Springs, for example, will address the immediate energy needs of the resort area by replacing $300,000 of diesel fuel per year. By so doing, the plant will have a 3-year payback. In addition to addressing the immediate energy needs of local communities, geothermal energy also offers the potential for communities to expand their industrial and employment base by providing a stable source of competitive electric energy to energy intensive users. This has already happened in Iceland, for example, where clean, state-of-the-art, high-energy-usage facilities have been built to take advantage of that country’s low-cost, sustainable, geothermally generated electric energy. In Alaska, the potential for using geothermal energy for industrial expansion is particularly promising to some of the islands of the Aleutian chain. The proposed geothermal plant at Akutan, for example, will do more than simply offset a substantial portion of the 4.3 million gallons of diesel consumed on the island per year, or alleviate the rising cost of diesel generated electricity by providing a local, low-cost, sustainable resource. It will also provide a clean energy resource that will help expand the fish processing industry, whose growth is currently limited by diesel emissions that cannot comply with clean-air regulations. For nearby Unalaska the economic potential is even greater. Unalaska/Dutch Harbor—a sheltered, world-class, deep-water port—is the busiest fishing port in the United States, where hundreds of millions of pounds of fish and seafood are processed yearly. The city has a 4-star hotel, daily scheduled airline and air charter service, and a fish-processing industry that represents an investment of about $1 billion. Moreover, there is a likelihood on Unalaska (as elsewhere in the Aleutian arc) of attaining supercritical geothermal fluids (temperatures greater than 400 ̊C or 752°F) at drillable depths. This would provide levels of energy at about an order of magnitude greater than comparable, lower temperature wells. The enormous heat, flow rate, and pressure generated would contribute to more efficient production of electric energy and hydrogen. This, together with a world-class port located near the Great Circle shipping route from major west coast ports to the Pacific Rim, would be a major benefit for Alaskan commerce, including energy commerce. Technical Capabilities The Alaska Energy Authority offers assistance and technical information on geothermal and other alternative energies. It also cooperates with the USGS, the U.S. Department of Energy, and others to assess the geothermal resource in Alaska and its potential uses. The University of Alaska Fairbanks’ Geophysics Institute and Department of Geology and Geophysics perform research and analyses on a variety of geophysical topics, including volcanology and geothermal energy. Dutch Harbor, part of the city of Unalaska, is a world-class, deep-water port and the busiest fishing port in the United States. Developing the ample geothermal resource on the island of Unalaska would be a boon to the port and to the rest of the island’s industry and commerce.PDF Image | Geothermal Technologies Program Alaska
