Abstract
Historically, Germany's greatest geothermal potential has been associated with hydrothermal resources, used primarily for heating applications. Until 2002-2003, the geothermal potential associated with resources at depths > 3000 m was hardly known. A discussion covers the so-called "deep geothermal" exploitation, which includes hydrothermal systems (using water stores), pethrothermal systems (artificially pumping water deep underground), and deep geothermal probes (using a closed loop systems), which can be used for electricity generation, district heating, combined heat and power; an overview of the current and estimated geothermal potential of Germany; an overview of the challenges facing the geothermal industry worldwide; and major obstacles to development of the geothermal sector in Germany.
