| Abstract | Confirmed total reserves of geothermal waters in Georgia are more than 100.000 cub.m per day as of 2002.For the main geothermal fields we have been prepared Projects ready for implemantation.Background of this works was the Project"Modeling of Base Geothermal Fields"in which are clarifyng rational technology of using thermal energy in Tbilisi(more detale see in our article in Session"District heating")(East Georgia)and in West Geogia-Zugdidi and Tskhaltubo.In contrary of Tbilisi field where heat capacity(HC)is just 10,6 MWt(1 stage),Zugdidi-Tsaishi field has HC=100 MWt in order to district heating of town and the big agricultural complex.Cost of this Project is 24 MUSD.Very original is the Project concerning with famous resort place Tskhaltubo.Here using balneologycal waters with temperature 35 degree gives us possibility in heating-condition purpase utilizate energy with HC=40 MWt by means of absorption heat pumps. All this decrease emission of CO2 in air. |
