deep geothermal heat production Explanation: Probably best to avoid "energy" or "power" since they appear to be talking about low grade energy, i.e. specifically for space or process heating (unlike in e.g. Iceland where the only source of electrical power is geothermal!) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2017-10-03 07:53:07 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- There are many refs to deep geothermal wells, e.g. http://www.renewableenergyfocus.com/view/12469/drilling-10-0... This technique is distinct from others such as the Icelandic systems which are quite near the surface and therefore much easier to build. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 days (2017-10-08 15:59:48 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I believe "geothermics" is the science of everything to do with geothermal energy, so would not be appropriate in your context. For the reasons I gave above, I prefer "heat" to "energy" simply because the text speaks of "chaleur" which is somewhat more restrictive than "energy", though some might consider this to be splitting hairs. |
