Map of potential geothermal energy Schieland Group (COP 15, Tretour 35)

On behalf of the province of Zuid-Holland, IF-Technology conducted the study ‘Potential geothermal energy in Zuid-Holland’, 2 December 2016. This map shows an indication of the number of potential geothermal systems. For this purpose, a grid of 1.5 km by 3.0 km (the size corresponding to the space fitting of a geothermal system) was laid over the map and determined the potential per grid based on the Schieland Group potential map. The potency is reflected in the average power (MWt) and the energy quantity (PJ) that can be produced within the variety with a single conventional doublet at a coefficient of performance (COP) of 15 and a return temperature of 35 °C. Geothermal energy is also known as geothermal heat.
