Abstract

Mexico is blessed with large geothermal resources. However, the task of extracting this energy efficiently and economically presents formidable problems. These are being tackled by scientists and engineers at the Instituto de Investigaciones Electricas, Cuernavaca. Their work, which is described in this paper, ranges from theoretical and laboratory studies to the operation of power generating units and heat pumps located in geothermal fields. Work is also underway on the evaluation of geothermal resources, developments in well drilling and termination technology, the solution of corrosion and scaling problems and the recovery of chemicals from geothermal fluids.
