Dutch Firm Secures Two Geothermal Licenses (ThinkGeoEnergy)

Dutch firm Transmark Renewables has secured two deep geothermal licenses in in Friesland and Noord-Brabant/Utrecht, allowing the company to explore and maybe start drilling within 3 to 4 years.

In order to generate electrical energy, the reservoir needs to be at  a temperature of at least 140 degrees C, with a temperature gradients of approx. 31 – 36 C/Km and the targeted depths to be between 4,000 and 6,000 meters.

Due to the lack of available information at these depths, Transmark Renewables will initially focus on a thorough surface exploration before entering into a drilling campaign.
