Abstract
The paper discusses the geological and technical aspects of geothermal energy utilization in south-east Poland, such as the availability of thermal aquifers and the techniques for putting the latter into practical use. The geological and geothermal features of the region are presented within the context of existent aquifers whose geothermal resources could be used for heating and recreation. Particulary favourable hydrogeological conditions exist in the Inner Carpathians, in the Podhale Trough, where one geothermal plant and thermal pools that exploit geothermal energy can be found. Equally interesting are the areas north of the Cracow-Tarnów-Rzeszów line, where in the Tertiary, Mesozoic and Paleozoic aquifers of the Miechów Trough and the Carpathian Foredeep a water temperature ranges from 20 to 60 °C (in Poland, thermal water is defined as a water with well-head temperature of above 20 °C). The paper presents technological solutions for the recovery and management of heat in this area, together with the examples of how heat pumps and combined heat and power units are used in Poland. In order to assess the geothermal potential of a given area, we must first determine whether the extraction of geothermal heat there is economically viable. To answer this question we must consider two basic elements, i.e. the type of thermal aquifer involved and the technological solutions that can be applied to utilize the source [1], [2].
