Our research on geothermal energy
Research activities were carried out on geothermal energy resource exploration and evaluation technologies and advanced methods in geothermal reservoir engineering.
Four fellowships were awarded in 2009. Each research work was based on the field data that the fellow brought from his country and/or institution and the results were aimed at providing an answer to the particular need of the country.
1) Geothermal energy resource exploration and evaluation technologies
2 fellowships:
- Integrated assessment of the geothermal energy potential in the Tanzanian Rift System in collaboration with University of Trieste and the United Nations University in Iceland (Tanzania).
- Case study on geothermal resources assessment at Mt. Karang and Mt. Endut geothermal sites, (Indonesia).
2) Advanced methods in geothermal reservoir engineering
2 fellowships:
- Case study on geothermal resources assessment at Weh Island geothermal system, (Indonesia).
- Case study on reservoir characterization and monitoring and implementation of constrained subsurface models of the Auachapan geothermal system (El Salvador).
