190522_iede_grafiken_researchlines3.png

This research line investigates low and high enthalpy systems, to the purpose of identifying geothermal applications that improve the efficiency in different industrial processes. In the northern parts of Chile, geothermal energy can be used to enhance the sustainability


of the mining and desalinization processes. In the southern part of the country the efficiency of energy-intensive industries, e.g. forest industrial or agricultural processes, can be increased and heating services can be provided to residential customers in urban and rural locations.
