The worldwide application of geothermal energy for non-electric use is reviewed. This paper attempts to update the previous survey carried out in 1990 by the same author and presented at the International Symposium in Hawaii. For each of these updates since 1975, the recording of data has been similar but not exactly the same and, for this latest update, an effort has been made to collate additional information on heat pumps and investments in geothermal for the past two decades. A preliminary version of this paper was published in the Proceedings of the World Geothermal Congress held in Florence in May 1995, which was prepared on the basis of draft manuscripts and information provided to the organizing committee prior to the meeting. However, some of these papers were modified on publication in the proceedings, and it was thought necessary to update this paper, particularly the tables, after the publication of the final manuscripts in the Proceedings of the Congress
