However, deep geothermal energy is currently harvested mainly from areas with very favorable geothermal conditions. As these areas are geographically limited, the use of geothermal energy in less favorable regions is essential for unleashing the full potential of geothermal energy, since they make up the majority of the total geothermal potential in Central Europe. Motivated by the growing interest in deep geothermal energy among, e.g., energy companies and communities, this text reviews the state of the art in deep geothermal energy with focus on direct heating in geothermally less favorable regions. It provides an overview of technologies used to generate heat from the deep underground and discusses main technical and non-technical risks associated with deep geothermal projects. The text addresses readers with an interest in geothermal energy but does not require a background in geoscience or engineering sciences. It is suitable as textbook for Geothermal Energy courses for undergraduate students from different disciplines.SpringerBriefs in Earth System Sciences,2191-5903Geotechnical engineeringGeophysicsRenewable energy sourcesGeologyGeotechnical Engineering and Applied Earth SciencesGeophysicsRenewable EnergyGeologyGeotechnical engineering.Geophysics.Renewable energy sources.Geology.Geotechnical Engineering and Applied Earth Sciences.Geophysics.Renewable Energy.Geology.333.88094Fink Johanna1223163Heim ElisaKlitzsch NorbertMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910564698103321State of the Art in Deep Geothermal Energy in Europe2837480UNINA
