The project will include a geothermal resource assessment of the Drava Basin, i.e. a quantitative estimate of the thermal energy that might be recovered from the earth and used economically at some reasonable future time, especially in the Drava Basin. A resource assessment provides the framework for the setting of a long-term energy policy and for strategic decisions made by the industry and government. An online open-access database is planned as a result of the project Achievements: The conducted geothermal resource assessment of the Drava Basin, i.e. a quantitative estimate of the thermal energy that might be recovered from the earth and used economically at some reasonable future time, resulted in the elaboration of an online open-access database containing the results of the research. The co-operation also provided a framework for the setting of a long-term energy policy and for strategic decisions to be made in the fi eld of renewable energy use by the industry and by the local Governments.
