Feasibility of a Geothermal Direct Use Enterprise Park in Puna,

An engineering analysis concluded that a direct use enterprise park is technically feasible. Such a park could require up to 11 million Btu/hr (770 kcal/sec) of heat which might be supplied from a high-temperature resource, such as waste heat from a power plant, causing less than a 10° F (5.6° C) decrease in injectate temperature.

OPTIONS AND QUESTIONS FOR DIRECT USE IN PUNA, HAWAII
