By S.Eyerer, et al.

Highlights:

  • Potential analysis of combined heat and power generation from hydrothermal resources.
  • The total economic potential of geothermal CHP in Germany is 9.1 PWh and 12.5 PWh.
  • Renewable geothermal CHP can contribute to 1.51% of gross electricity demand.
  • Renewable geothermal CHP can contribute to 1.48% of low temperature heating demand.
