Geothermal Heat and Water Management in the View of Improving Economic Conditions of Geothermal District Heating in Uniejów

Abstract

Possibilities of potential managing geothermal water and heat in Uniejów (C-Poland) are presented in the paper. Multivariant analyses treated the existing state of management as a basis to be developed and broadened by unused low-temperature heat potential and new possibilities of increasing the heat and water demand. The economic analysis lied in checking out how the NPV values are changing. The analysis was preceded by the analysis of environmental influence on the development of a geothermal district heating operating in the Polish conditions. The results of analyses are also applicable to other planned investments making use of geothermal waters in the Polish Lowland region.
