| Abstract | Germany has a considerable hydrogeothermal potential which is available for the environmentally sustainable and resource-saving production of heat. The example of the Neustadt-Glewe geothermal heating plant (GHP) is one more proof of the principle feasibility of energy production using deep and highly saline formation waters as heat source. Since the end of January 1995, operation of the GHP has been going on smoothly confirming the correctness of the selected technical and technological solutions. In 2003, the plant was extended by an additional cooling stage in the form of an upstream power generation unit. This paper presents the experience acquired in the exploration of the site, the planning, operation, and extension of the Neustadt-Glewe geothermal plant. |
