That the technical conditions are present, to generate electricity and heat in Germany by means of deep geothermal energy, the almost 20 in this country operated geothermal facilities occupy. “In the study published by the German Federal Environmental Agency energy target 2050: 100% renewable energy” achievable by 2050 potential of deep geothermal energy in power generation is estimated at just under 10 percent of the electricity. The potential in the field of heat is prized by the BMU study 2010 good 15% of the amount of heat in this country required.
