Discovering Untapped Geothermal Power: GeoMap™ South America

On October 15, 2025, Project InnerSpace unveiled the revolutionary GeoMap™ South America, a geothermal exploration platform that sheds light on an astonishing 6000 gigawatts of untapped geothermal power potential hidden beneath the continent. This innovative tool has the capacity to transform how regions across South America harness energy, providing sustainable and locally generated power. The blends of advanced drilling and subsurface technologies have opened doors that were previously considered inaccessible, making geothermal energy more affordable and scalable.

Geothermal Energy: Nature's Abundant Resource

Geothermal energy originates from the Earth's crust, utilizing the heat generated from the planet's natural processes. With millions of surface and subsurface data points integrated into an interactive platform, GeoMap™ offers users an unprecedented view of South America's geothermal capabilities. The newly launched platform displays some of the world's highest heat flow zones, providing a roadmap for exploring and harnessing geothermal energy efficiently.

Key Geothermal Hotspots

The GeoMap™ South America platform reveals numerous zones with high geothermal power potential along the Andean volcanic belt. Significant findings from the platform indicate that:

• - Argentina alone could leverage around 1200 gigawatts, making it a major player in the renewable energy arena.
• - Peru emerges with 400 gigawatts, while Colombia boasts 300 gigawatts, and Chile has the potential to harness 200 gigawatts.

These regions hold not only the promise of renewable energy generation but also opportunities for industrial applications, particularly in mining and mineral processing.

Advancing Urban Resilience

GeoMap™ also advocates for urban resilience solutions, presenting strategies for effective district heating and cooling systems in bustling cities like Bogotá, Caracas, and Santiago. By tapping into geothermal energy, these cities can enhance quality of life while bolstering energy security.

Brazil: A New Frontier for Geothermal Development

Brazil, with geothermal resources exceeding 2000 gigawatts, stands on the brink of a clean energy revolution. The northeastern region showcases potential for integrating subsurface energy storage with renewables, underscoring Brazil's ambition to harness its geothermal capabilities. Ongoing explorations, particularly in the Amazonas and Paraná basins, reveal exciting prospects for geothermal industrial heat and power generation.

Industry Collaboration Fuels Momentum

The launch of GeoMap™ aligns with growing momentum from the oil and gas sector, signaling a shift towards geothermal resources. For instance, Ecopetrol, Colombia's national energy company, has recently procured a permit to explore geothermal options within the Azufral volcanic complex, marking its strategic pivot to renewables. Similarly, Brazil's establishment of a national geothermal energy program indicates an increasing focus on this clean energy source.

Project InnerSpace's collaboration with Petrobras, South America's largest energy company, has streamlined the integration of geothermal data, dramatically enhancing the GeoMap™ platform’s data repository with Brazilian well-temperature insights.

“The oil and gas industry holds the key to unlocking the speed, scale, and technological advancement that will raise geothermal out of obscurity and into the mainstream,” stated Jamie Beard, Executive Director of Project InnerSpace.

Conclusion: A Global Initiative

GeoMap™ South America is part of a larger initiative aimed at mapping geothermal opportunities worldwide, building on previous releases covering regions such as Africa, North America, India, and the Middle East. Project InnerSpace continues its mission to remove barriers to geothermal energy development globally. As GeoMap™ offers a freely accessible map for stakeholders—including governments, businesses, and local communities—this tool positions South America at the forefront of the geothermal energy revolution.
