Overview Maps

On this page we offer you some of our maps from GeotIS as overview maps for download.

WMS/ Shapefiles

The geothermal locations are also available as Web Map Service (WMS), the maps of the geothermal atlas are available as shapefiles and as WMS.

You are welcome to use both variants to integrate the data into your own applications, please note our Terms of Use.

More information: WMS.

Map of geothermal locations

The map shows medium-deep geothermal locations with type of use, temperature, production and inflow depth.

The current locations data are also available as a Web Map Service (WMS), information on this under WMS.

Geothermal atlas

Geothermal atlas to show possible competing uses between CCS and deep geothermal energy

Map A: Investigative areas for CO₂ storage and proven hydrothermal potentials (available immediately) for deep and mid-depth geothermal energy

Map B: Areas worth investigating for CO₂ storage and assumed hydrothermal potentials (available in the future) for deep and medium-depth geothermal energy

Map C: Areas worth investigating for CO₂ storage and petrothermal potentials (available in the future) for geothermal energy

Map D: Areas worth investigating for CO₂ storage and all hydrothermal and petrothermal potentials (compilation of maps A-C) for geothermal energy
