| Abstract | There is no geothermal act in Hungary. Thus many different rules regulate the conditions of geothermal utilisation. Since January of 2004 the regulation has changed to the injury of energetic use of geothermal waters contrary the thermal baths and spas. For instance geothermal water utilised for energetic purpose has to be re-injected, while re-injection is forbidden if the water has been used in a bath. Meanwhile there is an existing governmental target to triple the present rate of geothermal energy utilisation by the year of 2010. The article shows the decreased opportunity of geothermal in Hungary, and that how antinomic and indefensible is the situation emerged |
