The JRC is collecting data on geothermal power plants for its technology and market assessments of geothermal energy [JRC 2015a, JRC 2015b]. The aim of this report is to document the geothermal power plant dataset that has been compiled in 2014 and since then continuously being updated. The JRC...

This report aims at providing an overview of the supply chain of a number of renewable energy technologies. The report currently addresses the following technologies in detail: wind energy, geothermal energy and ocean energy but might be expanded at a later stage. In particular, the report...

Geothermal energy resources have been used by mankind in some form for thousands of years. Depending on the temperature of the resource, it may be used for power production, supply of heat or a combination of both. This report presents the current status of the major technologies to utilize the...

This handbook deals with the analysis of the influence of different parameters that may affect the energy balances and economic feasibility of geothermal district heating systems. First of all, the technical description and critical analysis is carried out of different possible configurations...

The EU's geothermal energy sector, although small, has considerable potential to support the bloc's energy transition. This annual update report highlights the status of both power and direct heat applications, covering technology development, value chains, and markets. Despite being a...

Geothermal energy has significant untapped potential for both electrical and direct-use applications in the EU. Currently, 'traditional' hydrothermal applications are most common for electricity production, but if EGS technology is proven the technical potential increases significantly. The...
