This report is part of an annual series from the Clean Energy Technology Observatory and addresses the following themes: technology maturity status, development and trends (2030 – 2050 and beyond); value chain analysis and global market and EU positioning. Geothermal energy is derived from the thermal energy generated and stored in the Earth's interior. The associated technologies can be divided into:
• power generation (hydrothermal and enhanced Geothermal Systems, EGS);
• direct use (district heating and other uses such as for industrial process heat);
• shallow geothermal energy (exploiting the relatively low temperatures at depths up 100 m)
Here the focus is on deep geothermal energy for power and direct heat applications, in particular district heat systems (DHG).
