Innovative technologies in the development of geothermal energy in Europe
Innovative technologies in the field of geothermal energy focus on three areas: (i) resource assessment, (ii) resource development, and (iii) resource utilisation and management for electricity, heat supply and mineral extraction (lithium). They include increased electric power system efficiency, novel and optimised drilling technologies, underground thermal energy storage, new exploration methods, closed loops, smart systems, and 3D models. Advanced plants and technologies include ultra-deep geothermal ...
Geothermal energy in the EU
Geothermal energy is heat generated within the Earth's crust. It is used mainly for electricity generation, district heating and industrial processes. Several geothermal technologies exist, at different levels of maturity. Heat is usually extracted from the ground using heat pumps to power district heating systems, or used directly to heat builidngs. Electricity generation uses the heat stored underground, converting it to electrical power. The three main technologies for electricity generation are ...
Workshop „Bewertung des Potenzials und Förderung von Technologien der neuen Generation im Bereich erneuerbare Energien“ - Brüssel, 22. März 2011
Ziel des Workshops war es, das Potenzial für die Entwicklung und den Einsatz neuer Technologien für erneuerbare Energien in den Bereichen Solarenergie, Meeresenergie und Geothermik zu bewerten. Die Gastredner sondierten die wichtigsten Merkmale dieser Technologien, ihre technologischen Kapazitäten, ihr Potenzial und ihre Grenzen sowie ihre Auswirkungen auf die Umwelt. Darüber hinaus erörterten sie die Wirtschaftlichkeit des Sektors unter Berücksichtigung der Kapitalkosten und der Stromerzeugungskosten ...
Sustainable Energy Catalogue for European Decision-Makers
The purpose of this catalogue is to offer planners and decision-makers in EU member states an inspirational tool to be used during local or regional transition towards sustainable energy technologies. The catalogue may also be used by anyone else needing an overview of sustainable energy technologies and their current development level and future potential. It may also be used in education.
