Geothermal Energy in Eritrea
Coastal Geology and Location of
Alid Volcano
(Country Geothermal Prospects)
The Alid volcanic area is located about 120km south
of Massawa. It is a potential high enthalpy geothermal
resource; at least 11 geothermal area have been
identified on Alid.
Fumaroles and thermal pools are found on the northern
half of Alid suggesting that a hydrothermal system
underlies most of the volcanic center, An area of
10 km2 has been identified as having a high heat
flow. Gas geothermometry has indicated most temperatures
are between 190C and 350C with a median temperature
pf approxamtely 270C.
