In the region comprising Turkey and Greece, people have been using
water from geothermal sources for bathing and washing of clothes
since ancient times. This region falls within the Alpine-Himalayan
orogenic belt and hence is a locus of active volcanism and
tectonism and experiences frequent seismic events. This volcanic
and tectonic activity has given rise to over 1500 geothermal
springs. Its importance was recognized decades ago and the
geothermal water is now being utilized for district heating,
industrial processing, domestic water supply, balneology and
electric power generation. The geothermal potential in this region
is large. In Turkey alone it is estimated to be more than 31500 MWt
while the proven potential is 4078 MWt. At present 2084 MWt is
being utilized for direct applications in Turkey and 135 MWt in
Greece. In Turkey electricity is produced for 166 MW installed
capacity, whereas in Greece geothermal energy is presently not used
for electricity production despite its potential. This book
discusses the geochemical evolution of the thermal waters and
thermal gases in terms of the current volcano-tectonic setting and
associated geological framework that makes the region very
important to the geothermal scientific community. The book
explains, in a didactic way, the possible applications, depending
on local conditions and scales, and it presents new and stimulating
ideas for future developments of this renewable energy source.
Additionally, the book discusses the role(s) of possible
physicochemical processes in deep hydrothermal systems, the
volatile provenance and relative contributions of mantle and
crustal components to total volatile inventories. It provides the
reader with a thorough understanding of the geothermal systems of
this region and identifi es the most suitable solutions for specifi
c tasks and needs elsewhere in the world. It is the fi rst time
that abundant information and data from this region, obtained from
intensive research during the last few decades, is unveiled to the
international geothermal community. Thus, an international
readership, in the professional and academic sectors, as well as in
key institutions that deal with geothermal energy, will benefit
from the knowledge from geothermal research and experiences
obtained from the Aegean Region.
