Geothermal resources for most European countries are compiled in the recently published Atlas of Geothermal Resources in Europe, a companion volume to the Atlas of Geothermal Resources in the European Community, Austria and Switzerland. Publication of the atlas comes at a time when the promotion

by the pressure decline caused by production. Sustainable management of a geothermal resource involves utilisation at a rate, which may be maintained for a very long time (100-300 years). Overexploitation of geothermal systems mostly occurs because of poor understanding, due to inadequate monitoring, and when

Geothermal energy is the heat of the earth included in the rock matrix (90%) and the pore fluid (10%). It is renewable, all time available with a beforehand-predicted power generation potential. After defining the main parameters of a geothermal resource (area, volume, geology, geochemistry

This paper presents a statistical study of the geothermal resource risk in Indonesia, specifically, that the resource base and well productiv-ity are adequate and that the drilling cost per well is reasonable. This paper is timely because the Government of Indonesia is now embarking on an ambitious

Ireland is impoverished in geothermal energy resources, mainly because it lies outside the sphere of recent Alpine tectonic activity and is distant from plate boundaries. Geothermal gradients in Ireland, based on measurements in deep boreholes, range from 3 o C/km to 43 o C/km with a mean gradient
