Geothermal Information Platform of Hungary - OGRE

This platform aims to provide up-to-date and reliable geological, hydrogeological and geophysical data and information about Hungary’s geothermal energy resources via a user-friendly and publicly accessible site. We hope that this platform will help the preparatory work of national and international consortia aiming to invest into new geothermal projects in Hungary, as well as the every-day work of policy makers. Furthermore it aims to assist higher level education and also provide useful information to the public interested in geothermal energy.
The portal has 2 parts: an interactive web-map viewer, where different geological, geothermal and other thematic maps, as well as boreholes and other relevant spatial data are displayed, and 3 moduls (benchmarking, decision tree, risk mitigation), which support geothermal project development from different aspects. The use of the web-map viewer and the moduls is described in the Users’ Manual ( https://map.mbfsz.gov.hu/ogre_en/melleklet/users_manual.pdf ).
Maps presented on the portal are based on regional geoscientific models, therefore they provide a large-scale overview about the geothermal conditions of a certain territory, however they do not replace detailed exploration and pre-feasibility study necessary for a concrete project at local scale.
