Land take – Flanders – condition 2016

This map layer is part of the Renewable EnergieAtlas Flanders. ‘In this technical scenario, the theoretical, technical maximum with regard to the additional production potential for deep geothermal energy (> 500 m depth) is estimated. This delimitation is achieved through a combination of positive and negative spatial conditions. In the resulting suitable area, the maximum is then set to deep geothermal power plants, given that they must be at least 3 km away from each other. For the estimation of production, we base ourselves on the study ‘ERDF study Geothermal energy: spatial implantation analyses’ (Vranckx et al., 2015, VITO) in which an estimate was made of the potential of deep geothermal energy in Flanders based on the temperature of the top of the Dinantiane layer. For more background information, please refer to the report. The results are presented here at the level of the municipalities. The figures per municipality can also be consulted in the attached table.’
