Introduction
To assess which geographic models have been developed in the past for the production of maps related to renewable energy sources (RESs) and their combined use a common template was given to all the partners together with a brief guidance for its completion.
For each dataset, map or model the required information was distinguished as follows:
Name of GIS system/application/dataset
Link or location
Geographical area(s)
Types of RESs analysed
Types of maps and data collected
Types of parameters analysed
Availability of digital maps and data

Geothermal
|
Data is taken from the National Geothermal database put together by the ‘International Institute for Geothermal Research in Pisa of the National Research Council’ after the completion of the inventory of geothermal resources carried out by CNR, ENEA, ENEL and ENI.
The database contains: (1) the identification and location of wells and springs (available), (2) temperature and depth (in progress), (3) temperature gradient and heat flow, (4) litho-stratigraphic column of the wells (in progress), (5) characteristics of the reservoir, (6) well production, (7) chemical, physical and isotopic data of water and gas,(8) well’s technical profile, (9) correlation between vertical and deviated well, (10) permeability and (11) mineralizations within the well. Geophysical and energy demand data are now being inserted.
|
Maps related to temperatures of specific depth and heat flows are used as basis, on which wells and springs (at scales over 1:1,000,000) are visualised (their main characteristics are also available). A pop-up window, containing key information registries, appears when clicking on the chosen spring or well.
|
Public access to data through WebGIS (using the WGS84 reference system) currently allows you to work up to scale 1:950.000. The graphs of temperature with depth and summary description of the stratigraphy of the wells will soon be publicly available.
