Abstract:
The GeoSphere Austria Geothermal Atlas provides information on shallow geothermal energy in Vienna. Through the web application, geothermally relevant geodata can be visualized, site-specific data can be queried, and both heating and cooling potentials can be calculated. The underlying methodological and base data were developed as part of the project "Green Energy Lab – Spatial Energy Planning". The Geothermal Atlas already contains data on borehole heat exchangers and thermal groundwater use, including baseline data, protected areas, and resource capacities. An expansion to further federal states and additional potential calculations is in preparation.
purpose:
Provides initial assessments of the existing potentials and possible usage restrictions for shallow geothermal energy (borehole heat exchangers and thermal groundwater use) at the individual land parcel level

Use Limitation:
The thematic content of the web portal is intended to provide an overview of potentials, data sources, and possible usage restrictions in connection with near-surface geothermal plants. It does not replace detailed planning. The data, calculations, and reports provided do not constitute any entitlement to approval from the relevant authorities. No guarantee is given for the accuracy and completeness of the retrieved or displayed data and calculation results. Liability claims against GeoSphere Austria for damages of a material or non-material nature caused by access to, or the use or non-use of, the published information, by misuse of the connection, or by technical malfunctions are excluded. GeoSphere Austria cannot guarantee the uninterrupted availability of the Geothermal Atlas but endeavors to ensure the best possible provision of the service.

statement:
The methodology and data basis were developed by GeoSphere Austria in cooperation with the City of Vienna and within the "Green Energy Lab - Spatial Energy Planning" project. The datasets are based on hydrogeological and geothermal modeling (soil/subsurface temperature, thermal conductivity, hydraulic parameters). The current focus encompasses Vienna with detailed potential calculations for borehole heat exchangers as well as resource and constraint data for thermal groundwater use. The spatial resolution of the underlying raster data varies between 25 m and 100 m, depending on the specific thematic parameter.
