Geothermal Energy Potential in Armenia
Contour of heat flow with deduced
heat flow zones
Distribution of Quaternary volcanic
rocks and locations of thermal areas
Although no high-temperature geothermal
resources have been identified in the Republic of
Armenia, numerous lowtemperature resource areas
(cooler than 100°C) are present, mostly within a
belt of Quaternary volcanism and elevated heat flow
that trends northwest-southeast through the central
part of the mountainous country.
Three areas (Jermuk, Ankavan and the
Vorotan River Valley) have been identified as having
the greatest immediate potential for commercial
geothermal applications; thermal areas at Arzakan,
Gyumri and Martuni are also of potential commercial
interest. Further exploration in the central volcanic
zone of Armenia is warranted in an effort to expand
the identified geothermal resource base. Zones of
young volcanism in the Jermakhpur area, the Jermuk
basin, the Gegam Mountains and the Vardenis Mountains
are attractive targets for new exploration.
