Abstract
A funded research project, GeoTief EXPLORE, heralded a new era in the systematic development of geothermal energy in Austria. Complementing most of the exploration projects for the use of deep geothermal energy carried out in Europe so far, the research project adapted established knowledge of hydrocarbon exploration and merged it into an integrative and interdisciplinary study on the exploitation of this renewable form of energy. GeoTief EXPLORE investigates the potential in the east of Vienna (Figure 1), probably the most productive geothermal reservoir in Austria, evaluated it with regard to geological, technical, and economic risks and derived an implementation plan for the development of environmentally friendly heat.
