GREENLIGHT: Generating Renewable Energy Education Network Leading Initiatives for Green & Harmonious Tomorrows

Areas of Use of Geothermal Energy

Geothermal resources are divided into three groups according to their temperature:

  • Low temperature fields (20-70 °C)
  • Medium temperature fields (70-150 °C)
  • High temperature fields (150 °C and above)

While low and medium temperature geothermal resources are generally used for thermal applications, high temperature resources are evaluated in an integrated manner in electricity generation and thermal applications. Electricity generation is also possible from medium temperature fluid.
