“…For prospect area mapping around faults, the buffer zone was considered for each fault system, for instance, 6000 m for largest faults [4], 2000 m for active faults, and 1000 m for secondary fault system to cover the entire possible prospect areas for geothermal around the fault systems. Then the union was used to combine prospect areas around fault systems.…”

“…Geothermal energy exploration requires the combination of several survey and investigation results (such as geological, geophysical, and geochemical) to determine the most prospect area for further development. The GIS overlay Boolean and overlay weighted techniques were used to map the best prospect areas for geothermal energy and well sitting in many countries such as Iran [3], Japan [4], [5], Turkey [6] and Mexico [7].…”

Abstract-One of the cleanest energy sources is geothermal. To generate electricity or to directly use as heat this sustainable resource proper investigation of reservoir characteristics is required. The purpose of this research is to determine the best prospect location of geothermal reservoirs for further investigation in Afghanistan. To achieve this goal, the geological, geophysical, and geochemical evidence maps (such as volcanic dome and rock, fault, high temperature, intrusive rock, geopressured, hot spring, and hydrothermal mineral areas) were created in GIS (Geographical Information System) ArcMap 10.1. The GIS geoprocessing tools (such as buffer, union, and intersection) were used to define the best prospect areas of geothermal energy resources. The result of this study is the first digital map of prospect areas for geothermal resources in Afghanistan. Besides known hot springs, it has determined the wide potential areas around the load centers and big cities of the country.

“…The final geothermal favourability map is then created by weighted overlay. Noorollahi et al (2007) also presents a distance relationship analysis to determine the predominant distance between actual geothermal wells and interesting geological features (such as faults or hot springs) represented in a GIS layer.…”

The recent statements of both the European Union and the US Presidency pushed in the direction of using renewable forms of energy, in order to act against climate changes induced by the growing concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. In this paper, a survey regarding methods and tools presently available to determine potential and exploitable energy in the most important renewable sectors (i.e., solar, wind, wave, biomass and geothermal energy) is presented. Moreover, challenges for each renewable resource are highlighted as well as the available tools that can help in evaluating the use of a mix of different sources.
