Geothermal energy is a suitable alternative to gas in Hungary, said one expert in response to the suggestion that Hungary could heat with geothermal energy instead of natural gas. Hungary’s geothermal heat flow, or simply put, the intensity of the heat escaping from the earth’s interior, is excellent by European standards.
Although the heating season is already well behind us, there are still many evenings when radiators are turned on, which in the vast majority of Hungarian households, run on natural gas. Some experts therefore looked at the use of geothermal energy in households, as reported by Index.
It was found that Hungary has great geothermal potential, which could be used primarily for heating and cooling, said Judit Mádlné Szőnyi, hydrogeologist, PhD at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, professor at the Department of Physical and Applied Geology of ELTE and head of the research center of the József and Erzsébet Tóth Endowed Hydrogeology Chair, in her presentation. However, she pointed out that geothermal resources are less suitable for electricity generation.
