III. NATIONAL ACTIVITIES GERMANY 10.3.3 Geothermal Markets and Constraints At present, there is no real market for geothermal energy in Germany. The constraints for development include the high risk and costs associated with drilling. In addition, the geothermal fluids have a very high salinity. The costs for heating and electricity production using oil, gas and coal (hard and brown) are very low. 10.4 Research Activities 10.4.1 Soultz-sous-Forêts (Alsace, France) The task is the installation of a scientific geothermal pilot plant (first phase). The project is a European project on EGS. It is funded by the funding agencies of the EC, France and Germany and in a smaller part by industry. The working plan on the German side is distributed to 5 partners (federal agency, university and companies). In the first phase, 3 boreholes (GPK-1, 2, 3) are drilled, with two up to 5,000 m deep. Stimulation tests were done with very much success. It was possible to generate two heat exchangers at two horizons. The upper reservoir is located at 3,000 m to 3,600 m depth, and delivers temperatures of 165 °C. The lower reservoir at depths of 5,000 m and deeper has a temperature of about 200 oC. The new reservoir at 5,000 m shows closer boundaries compared to the upper reservoir. No leak-off to the upper reservoir has been detected. Well GPK-4 was completed in April 2004 to a depth of 5,200 m. The cost for this project for Germany in 2004 was 6.4 M €. The total cost of the investigation for all parties will amount to 30 M €. Phase II of the Soultz project began in 2004. 10.4.2 Government Funded R&D Projects 10.4.2.1 Neustadt-Glewe This study involves the evaluation of operational parameters for the geothermal heat plant at Neustadt-Glewe for the production of both heat and electricity generation using turbines working on ORC basis. The work is spread over two projects. The Neustadt-Glewe plant is the first working geothermal plant in Germany. It has been successfully providing heat to industry, commercial customers and about 2,000 private homes since 1995. In addition, the first geothermal power plant to produce electricity in Germany went online here in November 2003, with the installation of a 250 kWe organic-Rankine cycle plant. Total project costs were 1.3 M €, with 0.6 M € funding. 10.4.2.2 Groß Schönebeck The aim is to prepare hot water rock storage in the sedimentary north German Basin for the production of geothermal heat. This task is performed through a network of 6 “stand alone” projects. The focus of this project lies on new stimulation techniques for sediments. An old oil and gas exploration well is used. Experiments were conducted in the sandstone and vulcanite layers. IEA Geothermal R&T Annual Report 2004.doc 60
