According to Dr Dubravka Savic, associate professor at the Faculty of Agriculture of the University of Belgrade, in some parts of Serbia, there are excellent opportunities for the whole seasons horticultural production in greenhouses, thanks to geothermal energy with high water temperature up to 78-80 degrees Celsius, good water availability and other good characteristics of those geothermal resources.

However, such geothermal wells still are not used for the horticultural production in greenhouses. Actually, it would be possible to invest in high-tech glasshouses with high quality installations inside, for year round vegetable production. With geothermal wells with high water temperature, it would be possible to realize great energy savings for heating. Capacities of those geothermal wells, in several parts of Serbia, allow building and heating approximately 10ha of glasshouse area per geothermal well.
