Abstract

Današnje društvo svjesno je klimatskih promjena i upoznato je sa štetnim utjecajem koji fosilna goriva imaju na okoliš. U skladu s tim teži se pronalasku drugih ekonomski isplativih i ekološki prihvatljivih oblika energije. Jedan od tih je i geotermalna energija koja pripada obnovljivim oblicima energije. Posebno je zanimljiva jer ujedinjuje različite discipline kao što su geologija, hidrologija, geofizika, izrada bušotina i bunara te dizajniranja elektrana; no mali broj ljudi upoznat je s njenim prednostima. U ovom seminaru obrađena je tema geotermalne energije općenito, njene prednosti i mane, načini iskorištavanja i pojavljivanja te koje vrste elektrana postoje. Kao primjer uzeta je Republika Hrvatska, zemlja poznata po bogatstvu mineralnim i termalnim vodama koje se najviše koriste u rehabilitacijske svrhe no postoji i potencijal njihovog korištenja ne samo za već brojne hidroelektrane već i u obliku geotermalne energije.

Abstract (english)

Today's society is aware of climate change and of the harmful effects that fossil fuels have on the environment. Accordingly, the aim is to find other economically viable and environmentally friendly forms of energy. One of these is geothermal energy, which belongs to the group of renewable forms of energy. It is particularly interesting because it unites different disciplines such as geology, hydrology, geophysics, drilling and well construction, and power plant design; but few people are aware of its benefits. This seminar deals with the topic of geothermal energy in general, its advantages and disadvantages, ways of exploitation and occurrence, and what types of power plants exist. The Republic of Croatia is taken as an example as a country known for its richness of mineral and thermal waters that are mostly used for rehabilitation purposes, but there is also the potential of their use not only for hydropower plants but also in the form of geothermal energy.
