Geothermal Potential in Europe...as seen by us in Enex, by:Lárus Elíasson, CEO....
Enex Owned by GGE and REI Active in: –Germany, Wolfratshausen/Munchen –Hungary –Slovakia –... –USA Los Angeles –China Beijing
Geothermal is: Stable Secure Base load Infrastructure Economical size of source is depend on the energy price
Geothermal can serve: 1,2% of EU-27 total energy consumption 1% from EU-27 power consumption 1,5% of EU/EEA-33 total energy consumption 2,7% of EU/EEA-33 power consumption
Depending on energy prices Energy cost related to Gas and Oil Oil currently $100/barrel crude Higher energy prices will stimulate both direct use and power generation Relationship likely power of 2
Direct use Critical factor is distance from user to source Geothermal as base load, peak with fossil or biomass Very stable and secure once installed Banelogy and other uses also considered but mainly district heating
Renewable rank: Hydro large scale Wind onshore Wind offshore Biomass (Hydro)Geothermal Biogas Biowaste Small scale hydro Solar Tidal etc.
