The development of geothermal energy application as a part of Germany’s renewable energy portfolio is a multidimensional process with fast growing improvements. In this paper basic information on geothermal application in low-enthalpy regions, such as Germany and Abu Dhabi are given.

Experimental field tests as well as laboratory tests have been conducted. In addition to field tests, a geothermal laboratory device has been developed. With the help of this device, the heat transport processes in different geological and hydrogeological conditions can be simulated. The...
