  1. Geothermal Express Consultants Ltd. Attila Kujbus Managing Director International Geothermal Workshop Budapest, 6 May 2011 How to Achieve the Geothermal Objectives of the National Renewable Energy Action Plan of Hungary

  2. Contents Key figures of NREAP Hungary How can the State and geothermal professionalsco-operate? Segments of the geothermal energy business Developmentways, important and urgent tasks

  3. Key geothermal figures of NREAPHungary

  4. Constraints in Hungary • Technological • Temperature is not sohigh as active volcanic regions • Historical • Aged sites, technologyis not updated enough • Regulations • Symbiosis with compromise between Mining and Water Acts • Licensing practice

  5. How can the State be an appropriate partner? • Policies • Implementationof National Renewable Energy Action Plan • Infrastructure development, risk mitigation in the New Széchenyi Plan Development Program • Emphasis on protection of environment in economy development • Regulations • Legislation • Consequent authority supervisory and licensing processes • Tariffs • Takeover prices, green certificate • Geotariff – electricity price for ground source heat pumps • Communication

  6. How can geothermal professionals beappropriate partners? • Direction to the State • Common supportive actions • When asks for subsidies, provides its future results • Utilization the best international practice • Taking business and technical risks • Direction to municipalities • Authentic guidances • Complex technical and financial solutions, models • Investment partnership • Directions to Research and Development • Launching demonstration projects

  7. Segments of the geothermal energy business • Exploration and production from shallow and deep reservoirs is a key • national interest. Main segments of the geothermal business: • ground source heat pumps, • direct heat sales with thermal water production, • electricity production. • Further partial segments • combined heat and electricity production (CHP), • wide range cascade systems, • hybrid systems with conventional energy resources, • hybrid systems with other renewable energy resources, • heat storage.

  8. Geothermal Energy District Heating Units in Hungary

  9. Geothermal direct heat models Small, power: 3 MWth Yield: 1000 kg/min Temperature drop: 40 oC Technology: 1 doublet, 1200 - 2000 m deep. Medium, power: 6 MWth Yield: 2000 kg/min Temperature drop: 40 oC Technology: 2 doublets, 1200 – 2000 m deep. Large, power: 10 MWth Yield: 3000 kg/min Temperature drop: 40 oC Technology: 3 doublets, 1500-2500 m deep.

  10. R&D in Hungary Decentric wellhead designed by a Hungarian company, installed in Germany

  11. Power Plant Ranges

  12. Hungarian opportunities of the establishment of geothermal power plants This program depends on: • Research&Development • Regulations • Macroeconomic background • EU and Government subsidies • Existence of all market actors

  13. A draft modelofgeothermal production units in 2020

  14. Development ways of the different segments • Ground source heat pumps • Registration obligation, accurate pump register • Establishment of domestic pump manufacturing • Structured handling of authority fees • Geo-tariffs. • Direct heat sales by thermal water production • Solutions for reinjection technology and financing • Thermal heat asset management. • Electricity production • Middle and long term strategy • Handling the geological risk • Long term feed-in tariffstructure • Determination of geothermal concession areas and evaluation criteria.

  15. How to step forward:important and urgent tasks • Top-down: continuing and regularization of the national level consultation processes • Bottom-up: establishment of public National Geothermal Energy Platform • Uniform Governmental handling of the thermal heat asset management • Issue of the Provisions of the latest Mining Act amendment including the details of geothermal concessions and protected geothermal profile in thermal heat exploration • Revision and further restructuring of the feed-in tariff and integration into a uniform renewable energy subsidizing system.
