This session will explore the latest advancements in geothermal district and direct use applications. The session will cover a broad spectrum of topics, such as the assessment of geothermal potential for heating applications, the repurposing of plugged and abandoned oil wells for geothermal direct use, and the techno-economic analysis of geothermal deep direct-use application for a district heating, and thermal energy network applications. Additionally, the session will delve into the use of heat pumps and geothermal direct use heating in various industries.
