| Abstract |
Summary of the situation with exploration and development of geothermal resources in ECA Region countries illustrates that this renewable energy resource is generally neglected with exception probably only in Turkey and Russia. Present changes of the world energy market, in combination with previous positive experience and obvious positive possibilities for development in large areas and regions, confirms the need to change the approach and to define development strategies to widely introduce this energy sources. Existing constraints for development are identified and necessary measures to overcome them are recommended. |
