IS GT DS - information system geothermal energy of North Rhine-Westphalia - data set

The data set provides information regarding shallow, intermediate and deep geothermal energy. Near-surface geothermal energy considers the thermal conductivity of the rocks for geothermal probes down to a depth of 100 meters and the geothermal yield for geothermal collectors. With regard to medium-deep geothermal energy, the data set provides information for planning geothermal systems down to a depth of 1,000 meters, currently for the Rhineland and the northern edge of the Rhenish Slate Mountains. For the planning of deep geothermal plants (doublets) down to a depth of more than 5,000 meters, geological information about the limestone layers that are possible target horizons is made available. The dataset thus provides valuable key data on the potential uses of geothermal energy; for example for heating or air conditioning of all kinds of buildings. Available map themes: heat extraction capacity for geothermal collectors; Thermal conductivity for near-surface geothermal energy at a depth of 40, 60, 80, 100 meters; profile display; Overview of hydrogeologically sensitive areas; loose and hard rock distribution; Area of ​​increased flow rate; Thermal conductivity for medium-deep geothermal energy at depths of 250, 500, 750, 1,000 meters; open thermal storage (ATES); doublet; Lower Carboniferous and Devonian carbonates as target horizons (top, thickness, temperature, facies distribution).
