A prospective study on the geothermal potential in the EU. Wees, J. v., Boxem, T., Angelino, L., & Dumas, P. Technical Report 2013. ![A prospective study on the geothermal potential in the EU [pdf]](https://bibbase.org/img/filetypes/pdf.svg "pdf")
Paper abstract bibtex Geothermal power generation has its roots in Europe, where the first test in 1904 and the real beginning of power generation in 1913 took place in Italy. Since then, the development of geothermal technology has been slow but continuous. Since a decade, thanks to the optimisation of the new binary system technology, geothermal electricity can be produced using lower temperatures. Moreover, with Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS), a breakthrough technology proven since 2007, geothermal power can in theory be produced anywhere in Europe. According to the trajectories set out in the National Renewable Energy Action Plans (NREAPs) of the EU Member States, the capacity will grow from 0.9 GWe installed in 2013 to 1.4 GWe in 2020. The production of geothermal electricity in 2020 is planned to be 11 TWh. These are very conservative targets as the actual potential is much larger. Indeed, information about geothermal potential is not always available (no geological data below 2-3 km from previous exploration campaign for oil, gas etc.) or it is scattered in different ministries, universities, national institutes, oil & gas companies and various private entities. For this reason many policy-makers are simply not aware they stand on a frequently untapped source of local renewable energy. And this is also why geothermal power is not always taken sufficiently into consideration in some NREAPs and other strategic documents on the future electricity mix.The present GEOELEC study makesafirst step to fill the existing gap.Itprovides an outlook of the potential by country;the resource assessment is the product of the integration and interpretation of existing data and a newly defined methodology building on Canadian, Australian, and American methodology.
