Sustainability concepts for exploitation of geothermal reservoirs in Indonesia – capacity building and methodologies for site deployment

Indonesia is one of the countries with the largest geothermal potential worldwide. Advanced technology solutions for geothermal energy provison in Indonesia will be developed based on a holistic approach.

In collaboration with local partners a multidis-ciplinary German team contributes to:  

• methodical and technical innovations of geothermal technology
• training and education of skilled scientists and technical personnel A modular binary (ORC) geothermal power plant is presented at the WGC 2010.
