Abstract

In Mexico there are many potential geothermal energy sources with a wide range of temperatures. At present high temperature geothermal energy is used to generate electricity. Considerable experience has been accumulated in the exploitation of geothermal energy. Lower grade geothermal heat could be used to generate electricity with organic Rankine cycle plants. There is little industrial exploitation of lower temperature geothermal resources at present even though in the centre of Mexico areas of geothermal activity coincide with industrial zones. However, this situation could change with the use of suitable heat exchangers and heat pumps, particularly absorption systems to supply process heat with very little pollution.
