Belgrade has sources of geothermal energy with a total potential of 2.3 GW, according to research data
Belgrade Chamber of Commerce organized conference entitled "Geothermal energy in our backyard." The event was held under the auspices of the City Secretariat of Energy and Mining and Geology Faculty of the University of Belgrade, informed BalkanGreenEnergyNews.com for BalkanEngineer.com.
The event was attended by representatives of local municipalities and many companies and enterprises for utilities from Belgrade and the country, shared the organizers of the event.
Participants discussed the potential and advantages of using geothermal energy and came to the conclusion that it is most cost-effective renewable energy source, but its use in Serbia is only symbolic.
Secretary of energy Marko Stojanović pointed out that from 2009 to 2012 the research on underground water was done in Belgrade, after which the cadastre of geothermal water for the city was made. Total potential for energy production in Belgrade is 1.2 GW and on the territory outside the city it is 1.1 GW more. There is no systematic approach to the use of geothermal waters on the territory of Belgrade, the report said.
