Europe:

ThermoMap Project Concludes

The ThermoMap project, area mapping of superficial geothermic resources by soil and groundwater data mapped the very shallow (up to 10m) Geothermal Potential, or ‘vSGP’ across Europe.

The project harmonized pre-existing data sets relating to geological, hydrogeological, soil, climate and relief geo-data with standardized methods. In addition, samples were taken from fourteen test areas across Europe.

The data was then used to build an open source web GIS where users can check the vSGP in a certain area.
