Investment attractive geothermal project of Ukraine

Abstract

The potential of geothermal energy in Ukraine confirmed by the Ministry of Environment on the basis of geological explorations in terms of daily yield averages 27.3 mln. cub. m/day of thermal waters, weighed mean temperature being 70?C. Unfortunately, practical use of the potential is far from being at a desired level.
In order to drastically improve the situation by attracting to the fuel and energy complex of Ukraine the heat stored in thermal waters, the business plans for 35 geothermal investment projects have been developed.
The following factors have been taken into account in the development process:
1. The stores of energy extraction feasible thermal waters confirmed by drilling and testing of exploratory wells.
2. The availability of thermal heat consumers and the guaranty of payment on the part of consumers.
3. The possibility of reconditioning the existing exploratory wells.
4. The possibility of using equipment manufactured in Ukraine.
5. The interest and support of local authorities in the construction and exploitation of geothermal units..
