Wissenschaftliche Analysen zu ausgewählten Aspekten der Statistik erneuerbarer Energien und zur Unterstützung der Arbeitsgruppe Erneuerbare Energien-Statistik (AGEE-Stat) Fachbericht Tiefe Geothermie

Summary

Despite its potential for constant energy supply, deep geothermal energy development in Germany has been relatively slow compared to other renewables due to various constraints. This report analyzes the current status, relevance, and development trends of deep geothermal energy, including installed capacity and energy generation figures for electricity and heat. The analysis, completed in 2025, shows that deep geothermal currently contributes less than 1% to Germany's electricity or heat demand, though ambitious regional targets for expansion exist.
