The geothermal potential in the Upper Rhine Graben is large and the geological conditions are excellent. The new guide from Enerchange is aimed at municipalities and their population. He explains the technology, addresses possible fears and shows the great opportunities geothermal energy offers for the heat transition.

The guide clearly presents the different types of use of geothermal energy. It provides information about the geological condition of the Upper Rhine Graben and its special suitability for deep geothermal energy.

The guide takes up public fears about earthquakes, groundwater hazards or ground heave and explains in detail how a comprehensive approval process minimizes all possible risks and what has been learned from past mistakes.

Interviews with experts can be found as well as an overview of the existing projects on the Upper Rhine, a glossary and a directory of relevant addresses.
