Spatial Distribution of Geothermal Plants and Critical Raw Materials

A GIS database for preliminary assessment of critical raw material (CRM) co-production from in parallel with geothermal energy. The dataset integrates global geothermal plant registries, critical mineral occurrence layers, and selected geothermal fluid information in a common spatial framework for screening, comparison, and site-selection studies. This dataset was created in the study reported in: Hosseinpour, F., Taddia, G., Lo Russo, S., & Gizzi, M. (2026). Geothermal plants and critical minerals distribution: a preliminary spatial dataset for co-production screening.
