Využití geotermálního potenciálu důlních vod v Severočeské hnědouhelné pánvi .

Abstract

The dissertation is focused on the utilization and exploration of the geothermal potential of mine waters in the North Bohemia Brown Coal Basin. The intention to examine the geothermal potential in the area of interest stems from considerations of utilizing this type of the Earth´s heat as an alternative source of energy. The utilization of the geothermal energy leads to the production of green energy. Geothermal energy is cost effective, reliable, sustainable and environmentally friendly. From the perspective of geothermal energy utilization, the area of interest, as part of the Ore Mountains and Sub-Ore Mountains region, belongs the most promising sections of the Czech Republic characterized by high heat flow. The work addresses the occurrence of higher-temperature mine waters in the North Bohemian Brown Coal Basin, specifically at the Czechoslovak Army Mine. The aim of the work is to contribute to the utilization of geothermal potential in mine waters. The assumption of the occurrence of higher-temperature mine waters. The assumption of the occurrence of higher-temperature mine waters in the area of interest was based on a pilot study conducted during field surveys in 2009-2010 and 2011-2021 at the Bílina Mine, where the temperature and discharge of mine water were monitored. In the years 2020-2021 and 2023, within the framework of quantitative research, a case study monitored the temperature and discharge of mine water at the Czechoslovak Army Mine.
