Geothermal Information System

The geothermal information system (GeotIS) provides information and data compilations on deep aquifers in Germany relevant for geothermal exploitation. GeotIS is a public internet based information system and satisfies the demand for a comprehensive, largely scale-independent form of a geothermal atlas which can be continuously updated. GeotIS helps users identify geothermal potentials by visualizing temperature, hydraulic properties and depth levels of relevant stratigraphic units. A sophisticated map interface simplifies the navigation to all areas of interest. An additional component contains a catalogue of all geothermal installations in Germany. The primary objective of this project is to improve the quality of geothermal-plant project-planning and the estimation of the exploration risk for geothermal projects on selectable locations. However, concrete, location-specific analyses still remain the task of local feasibility studies.

地热信息系统（GeotIS）提供有关德国深层地下水文信息的资料和数据汇编，这些信息对于地热开发至关重要。GeotIS作为一项基于互联网的公共信息系统，满足了构建一个全面、在很大程度上不受比例尺影响的综合地热图集的需求，并能持续更新。GeotIS通过可视化相关地层单元的温度、水力性质和深度层次，帮助用户识别地热潜力。一个复杂的地图界面简化了对所有感兴趣区域的导航。此外，该系统还包括德国所有地热设施目录。本项目的首要目标是提升地热发电厂项目规划的质量以及对选定地点地热项目勘探风险的评估。然而，具体的、针对特定地点的分析仍需由地方可行性研究来完成。
