Analysis of the geothermal energy potential at medium and large depths in the Czech Republic on the basis of available data

Project title	Analýza potenciálu geotermální energie ve středních a velkých hloubkách na území ČR na základě disponibilních údajů
Project description
Project partners	Czech geological survey – principal investigator Institute of Geophysisc of the Czech Acadamy of Sciences The Chamber of Renewable Energy Source Co-partner: Research infrastructure RINGEN
Registration number	TK02010092
Funding source	Technology Agency of the Czech Republic - THÉTA programme for applied research, experimental development and innovation
Budget	7 568 000,- Kč (total grant 6 641 000,- Kč)

Reserch activities
Main project goals	The main objective of the project is to analyze the potential of geothermal energy in the Czech Republic at depths of 400 m to 5000 m. Subsequently the refinement and redefinition of areas suitable for utilisation of geothermal energy by heat pumps, direct heat or heat generation will be performed.Updates and refinements of the existing geothermal potential maps of the Czech Republic will be carried out on the basis of existing obsolete geothermal maps and available archival data. Geothermal potential maps will be newlysupplemented by additional map layers showing land use conflicts and limiting factors, so users will be able to see not only geothermal potential but also factors limiting its use.
Main outputs & results	Maps of geothermal potencial in various depth intervals and maps of potential conclict of interests Inputs (information, reports etc.) for strategic documents in state and regional administration Database of borehole temperature measurements Feedback from application guarantor and key stakeholders
