WP 2.07: Geothermal geodynamics

The main objective of WP 2.07 iwas to develop novel exploration and exploitation concepts for the 2050 timeline for the following geothermal resources:

This was achieved through:

To teach and coach trainers on state of the art European and Australian experiences with EGS. Prime research components include:

The research oriented WP is centred around two PhD research projects that focus on the development of novel exploration and exploitation concepts for the longer term. Each project will focus on a different case study area in Indonesia, but they will all be set up to include three main components; (1) geodynamic based approaches for regional exploration; (2) tectonic modelling studies for selected cases; (3) assessment of resource potential.

Both projects involved a first phase of literature study and inventory of available data, with a particular focus on the larger geodynamic setting of Sumatra (Lukman Sutrisno) and Flores (Fauzi Purwandono)
