Abstract
It may reasonably be clained that geothermal energy production would be environmentally more acceptable than most other forms of energy production. From this aspect a closed-loop system seems to be especially advantageous. Hungarian Plain is full of unsuccessible drillholes for petroleum fluids. These dry holes can be utilized as underground geothermal heat exchangers. The weakness of this proposed production technology is the moderate outflowing water temperature. The numerical simulation shows that this temperature is rather low, so this technology has only restricted importance..
