Abstract

This research is about geothermal potential of Mount Karang, Banten Province which is based on the characteristics of the region. This research method used is geochemistry sample of hot springs and integrated with GIS method for spatial of geothermal potential. Based on the geothermal potential, Mount Karang is divided into three regions, ie high potential, normal potential, and low potential. The high geothermal potential region covers an area of 24.16 Km2and which there are Cisolong and Banjar 2 hot springs. The normal potential covers Kawah hot spring. Index of the fault of Mount Karang region is one of the significant physical characteristics to determine geothermal potential.

Highlights

Indonesia is surrounded by active volcanoes in almost every region
Region with geothermal potential in Mount Karang and surrounding areas based on their physical characteristics are divided into 3 ie with low potential, medium and high
The area with low geothermal potential based on the characteristics of its territory has an area of 151.13 km2 with a ground surface temperature of 19.990C, a volcanic lowland morphological unit, a low fault density and a reservoir temperature of 117.910C and has manifestations in Banjar Springs 1

Summary

Introduction

Indonesia is surrounded by active volcanoes in almost every region This makes Indonesia the most potential country to have renewable energy in the form of geothermal. The hot springs in Mount Karang become a manifestation that the location has geothermal potential. According to [1] to determine whether a mainstream has a commercial geothermal potential or not, a study of the type of hot springs is required. Testing this type of hot springs using geochemical methods by looking at chemical elements Na, K and Mg. Testing the element will produce three types of hot springs namely Immature Water, Partial Equilibrium and Full Equilibrium. Important to note that a geothermal resource is part of a geologic system where geologic factors such as lithology, faults, fractures, stress field, diagenesis, rock mechanics, fluid chemistry and geochemistry control key parameters [2]
