Abstract
The main subject of the paper is the concept of geothermal energy utilization in Hungary developed for power generation and direct use.
The main thermal water reservoir systems of Hungary are the Mesozoic carbonate-karstic basement rocks and the Pliocene-Upper Pannonian porous sedimentary fon;,ations with more than 1200 thermal water wells, mostly in the low to medium temperature range (3OOC to 120OC). The thermal water management (water supply, baineological applications etc.) and the direct energy use (agricultural utilization, space heating, SHW etc.) has to be in harmony with the possibilities and the requirements of the protection of water resources and the environment.
