Upgrading of the Geothermal Information System GeotIS to an Internet Portal for the Heat transition in Germany

The ArtemIS project is expanding the Geothermal Information System (GeotIS) specifically to address medium-deep geothermal energy and the heat transition. GeotIS is intended to cover more regions that will be crucial for implementing the heat transition through medium-deep geothermal energy in Germany, while also becoming easier and more intuitive to use. The simplified user interface is also intended to appeal to non-experts, such as those in the municipal energy supply sector, who play a key role in the widespread implementation of the heat transition through geothermal energy.
Until now, GeotIS was developed primarily for deep geothermal energy, as the focus over the past years has been on combined heat and power generation. Now, the focus is to shift toward direct heat utilization and storage in medium-deep rock formations. Furthermore, GeotIS is to be expanded with a new user feature: With the so-called “Profile Feature”, the scientifically sound information source GeotIS will reach a broader user base, particularly municipal energy suppliers. GeotIS aims to provide targeted support to decision-makers in business and politics in implementing the heat transition through geothermal energy, based on scientific findings.
The UGOE contributes its expertise in the statistical analysis of geothermal data, the international dissemination of project results within the framework of the IEA Geothermal activities, and knowledge transfer.
