III. NATIONAL ACTIVITIES SYNOPSIS 7.3 Review and Highlights of National Activities 7.3.1 Australia At present, electricity is being generated by one 120 kWe (net) binary power station operating in western Queensland, and it produced about 1 GWh in 2004. There is also a small amount of direct use in the country, about 825 GWh was used, mainly for space heating and bathing. However, Australia’s fledgling geothermal industry is growing, with significant interest in the Geodynamics Limited EGS “proof of concept” project being conducted in the Cooper Basin. In 2004, Australia’s second deep geothermal well was completed to 4,358 m and pressure communication was established with the first well, which was drilled in 2003. Temperatures in the drilled area of interest are as high as 250 oC. Production testing will be conducted in 2005. Interest in geothermal energy development is growing in Australia, with several new “geothermal” companies having formed ( one having listed on the Australian Stock Exchange) and planning geothermal exploration programmes Table 7.1 Installed capacity, power generated and direct use for GIA Member Countries in 2004 unless otherwise noted (§ = data from Bertani (2005) and Lund, et al.

In 2004, the Government provided A$ 1.5 M to Geodynamics Limited for its Cooper Basin geothermal project; with industry providing about A$ 17 M for this R&D project. Three states in Australia have geothermal exploration and development legislation in place and geothermal energy is included in the Renewable Energy (Electricity) Act 2000, which addresses greenhouse gas emission. A National Mandatory Renewable Energy Target (MRET) of 9,500 GWh/year of new renewable electricity by the year 2010 has been set, though it is currently under review.
