Description: On May 16, 2006, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory hosted a geothermal resources workshop with experts from the geothermal community. The pupose of the workshop was to re-examine domestic geothermal resource estimates. The participating experts were organized into five working groups based on their primary area of expertise in the following types of geothermal resource or application:  Hydrothermal, Deep geothermal systems,  Direct use,  Geothermal heat pumps, and  Co-produced and geopressured.
