In particular, recently introduced energy policies are giving high priority to increasing the use of renewable energy sources, the improvement of energy systems? security, the minimization of greenhouse gas effect, and social and economic cohesion. Renewable energies? availability varies during the day and the seasons and so their use must be accurately predicted in conjunction with the management strategies based on load shifting and energy storage. Thus, in order to reduce the criticalities of this uncertainty, the exploitation of more flexible and stable renewable energies, such as the geothermal one, is necessary. Geothermal energy is an abundant renewable source with significant potential in direct use applications, such as in district heating systems, in indirect use ones to produce electricity, and in cogeneration and polygeneration systems for the combined production of power, heating, and cooling energy. This Special Issue includes geothermal energy utilization and the technologies used for its exploitation considering both the direct and indirect use applications. 606 $aResearch & information: general$2bicssc 606 $aTechnology: general issues$2bicssc 610 $ageothermal power production 610 $aabandoned oil reservoirs 610 $ain situ combustion 610 $aorganic Rankine cycle (ORC) 610 $aplunger pump 610 $acentrifugal pump 610 $apressure drop 610 $atemperature utilization rate 610 $asystem generating efficiency 610 $acarbonate geothermal reservoirs 610 $asustainable geothermal energy exploitation 610 $asouthern Italy 610 $anumerical simulation 610 $adual-loop ORC 610 $amixture working fluids 610 $aentropy generation 610 $aentransy loss 610 $aexergy loss 610 $aGround source heat pump 610 $aoval cross-section 610 $agroundwater 610 $aborehole heat exchanger 610 $aCFD 610 $aSandtank 610 $agranite 610 $aphysical characteristics 610 $acyclic 610 $athermal treatment 610 $awater cooling 610 $ahybrid renewable polygeneration plant 610 $amicro organic Rankine cycle 610 $aevacuated solar thermal collectors 610 $aphotovoltaic panels 610 $aplastic heat exchanger 610 $aOrganic Rankine Cycle 610 $ageothermal energy 610 $ashell and tube heat exchanger 610 $afouling resistance 610 $amobile thermal energy storage (M-TES) 610 $aphase change material (PCM) 610 $aLCOH 610 $aheat transport 610 $arenewable energy source 610 $ahousehold hybrid system 610 $adynamic simulation 610 $aeconomic analysis 610 $aTRNSYS software 610 $aheating and cooling network 610 $apolygeneration system 610 $ageothermal energy community 610 $aORC 610 $aenergy district 610 $aheat pump 610 $aR1234ze 610 $aCO2 610 $ageothermal 610 $arenewable energy 610 $ahistoric building 610 $aenergy saving 610 $aearth-to-air 610 $ahorizontal pipe 610 $a2D model 610 $aair conditioning 610 $arenewable energy sources 610 $athermal performances 610 $aenergy efficiency 610 $aparametric study 610 $ageothermal resource 610 $aMonte Carlo simulation 610 $aassessment 610 $athermal reservoir 610 $aNorth Jiangsu Basin 615 7$aResearch & information: general 615 7$aTechnology: general issues 700 $aRoselli$b Carlo$4edt$040057 702 $aSasso$b Maurizio$4edt 702 $aRoselli$b Carlo$4oth 702 $aSasso$b Maurizio$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557719303321 996 $aGeothermal Energy Utilization and Technologies 2020$93029674 997 $aUNINA
