| Description: |
AbstractCrustal-scale faults deserve more attention as potential deep low-enthalpy geothermal energy sources in Finland. As well known, major structures may behave as favourable permeability channels for meteoric waters. They may also be characterised by elevated geothermal gradients, although the opposite is also possible. For Enhanced Geothermal System (EGS) exploration projects, major faults may offer an alternative target potentially requiring much less hydraulic stimulation than conventional EGS projects. see all
