47 DECEMBER 2025 WorldWide Drilling Resource® Map Reveals Untapped Geothermal Power Potential Adapted from Information by Project InnerSpace™ Project InnerSpace, a leading organization dedicated to the global advancement of geothermal energy, unveiled GeoMap™ South America, an innovative platform that shows the untapped geothermal potential of the continent. This groundbreaking initiative promises to revolutionize the way we harness sustainable energy, offering a wide range of benefits, from reliable power generation to resilient heating and cooling solutions. Geothermal energy, the natural heat stored within the earth’s crust, is an abundant and ubiquitous resource that has long been overlooked. However, advancements in drilling and subsurface technologies have made geothermal a more accessible and scalable solution, even in regions previously thought to be inaccessible. GeoMap South America integrates millions of surface and subsurface data points into an interactive and freely accessible platform, revealing the continent’s exceptional geothermal potential. The platform highlights several key findings: j The Andean volcanic belt harbors dozens of high-potential geothermal power production zones, capable of generating tens of gigawatts (GW) of reliable electricity, particularly in Argentina, Peru, Colombia, and Chile. j Opportunities for industrial applications in mining and mineral processing, with a strong alignment between critical mineral deposits and high geothermal favorability, offering the potential to power operations with local geothermal energy. j Urban resilience solutions through district heating and cooling in major cities, improving quality of life and energy security. j Brazil’s vast geothermal resource, exceeding 2000 GW, holds exceptional potential for power, energy storage, cooling, and industrial heat applications, particularly in the northeastern regions and the Amazonas, as well as Paraná basins. The momentum to harness this untapped potential is gaining traction, with key players from the gas and oil industry, such as Ecopetrol in Colombia, pivoting toward geothermal exploration. Additionally, Brazil recently approved the creation of a national geothermal energy program, increasing access to research and development funding. GeoMap South America builds upon the success of earlier releases across Africa, North America, India, Asia, Oceania, and the Middle East, advancing a global effort to map geothermal opportunities and make next-generation geothermal data freely accessible. This comprehensive initiative promises to unlock a new era of sustainable energy production, delivering firm, locally produced, and resilient power solutions to communities across South America. “GeoMap South America significantly expands our capacity to evaluate new geothermal opportunities, particularly in regions with limited or proprietary data. We look forward to leaning into GeoMap as we build our geothermal exploration strategy, and as we strengthen our technological standing and leadership in developing this massive, sustainable, and local resource,” said Anna Eliza Svartman, Basin Modeling Manager from Petrobras.
