THE USE OF GEOTHERMAL ENERGY IN POSAVJE REGION

Diplomsko delo opisuje značilnosti in način rabe geotermalne energije na področju Posavja. Opisane so bile značilnosti uporabe geotermalne energije glede na temperaturno območje, nahajališče in namen uporabe. Opravljena je bila analiza dosedanjih raziskav in izdelan primer uporabe geotermalne energije v Posavju. Analiza je bila izdelana po zadnjih podatkih iz leta 1996. Kot primer izrabe je bila izdelana analiza možnosti izrabe opuščene vrtine na Mostecu. Glede na opravljene izračune je bilo ugotovljeno, da bi bilo daljinsko ogrevanje izvedljivo. Geotermalno energijo, posebej termalno vodo, bi bilo možno bolje izkoriščati. Za dejansko izrabo pa bi bilo potrebno izvesti nove raziskave.Diploma work describes the characteristics and use of geothermal energy in the Posavje region. The characteristics of geothermal energy use were described according to the temperature range, location and the intention of the usage. An analysis of previous research, and an example of using geothermal energy in the Posavje region were made. The analysis was made based on the latest data from the year 1996. As an example of utilization, an analysis and the possibility of using abandoned thermal borehole in settlement Mostec was made. The district heating would be possible acording to the estimates and calculations. Geothermal energy, especially thermal water could be better exploited. For the actual use, new research should be done
