Three geothermal play types can be distinguished based on
tectonic settings in Taiwan.
They are the magmatic-volcanic field type, extensional domain
type and orogenic belt/foreland basin type.
Geothermal potentials of install capacity for those three types are
2,886 MW, 6,170 MW and 25,754 MW, respectively in Taiwan.
The major challenges for developing geothermal energy are acidic
corrosion for Tatun volcano area and scaling for others.
The geothermal energy for electricity just kicks off.
Taiwan government will speed up for the geothermal
developments in near future.
