Abstract
The paper features the Geothermal Power research project supported by the ALTENER-Energy Framework Programme of the EC. Four Hungarian, one Austrian, one Portuguese, and an Icelandic partner will implement the project starting from spring of 2003. The main objectives of the project is to develop an integrated feasibility study on installing small-scale geothermal power plants in Hungary combined with heating applications and balneological use via a cascading system. The intension is to provide a model for extended application throughout the Accession Countries and the EU-15. The envisaged major result is to identify the most feasible group of boreholes for the implementation of mini-power plants. For this purpose detailed financial viability studies will be made taking into consideration physical, technical and environmental parameters.
