| Abstract | The paper briefly introduces the progress made by a Working Group based on a MoU between EGRCUNECE and IGA to elaborate the specifications and guidelines for geothermal energy in order to incorporate geothermal into the United Nations Framework Classification for Fossil Energy and Mineral Reserves and Resources 2009 (UNFC-2009). Four Hungarian direct use case studies are discussed where the authors made a Monte-Carlo based resource estimation and made an tried to classify the projects according to the UNFC-2009 scheme. |
