Geothermal Resource is a renewable energy resource that is indigenous, environmentally favorable and covers base load. However, geothermal assessment has not been made and the geothermal heat pump system has been perceived as the only geothermal energy utilization by decision makers or public in Korea. In this paper, the definition of geothermal potential and various estimates made so far are introduced. Also the first, recently-made, geothermal assessment in Korea is discussed. The competitiveness or desirability of geothermal resource may be discussed in terms of type of use, availability, technical feasibility, environmental sustainability and profitability. The fact that geothermal energy is superior to other renewables is argued in the economic and environmental points of view. Sustainability and potential of Enhanced Geothermal System (EGS) as ubiquitous energy resource, which should be taken into account in accelerating long-term geothermal exploitation in Korea, and also future outlook are discussed.
