Abstract
The Rodigo geothermal well, which was drilled in 1975 for oil exploration reaching a depth of 5 km, produces 80 of self flowing water at 59 temperature. The hot water from the well is utilised for heating of 10 acres of greenhouses, as well as for drying of 1,200 forage and cereals. The waste water from the greenhouses and the driers, the temperature of which is around 25 is used for farming of 45 eels in 3 acres of pools. The resulting energy savings from the project are 1214 toe annually, while the corresponding pay-back period of the investment amounts to approximately 3 years.
