    Summary note
    "The book encounters basic knowledge about geothermal technology for the utilization of geothermal resources. The book helps to understand the basic geology needed for the utilization of geothermal energy, shows up the practice to make access to geothermal reservoirs by drilling and the engineering of the reservoir by enhancing methods. The book describes the technology to make use of the Earth's heat for direct use, power, and/or chill and gives boundary conditions for its economic and environmental utilization. A special focus is made on enhanced or engineered geothermal systems (EGS) which are based on concepts which bring a priori less productive reservoirs to an economic use." "The book is written by well experienced authors in the field of geothermal research. The editor Ernst Huenges has academic degrees as physicist and process engineer and is head of the International Centre for Geothermal Research at the German Research Centre for Geosciences in Potsdam."--Jacket.
