Geothermal Energy Potential Map for Zuid-Holland Province

A geospatial map indicating the potential for geothermal energy systems in the Dutch province of Zuid-Holland. The study was commissioned by the province and conducted by IF-Technology, with results published on 2 December 2016. The map overlays a 1.5 by 3.0 km grid to estimate the average power (MWt) and energy quantity (PJ) producible per grid cell under specific technical conditions.

Use Cases

• Identify high-potential areas for geothermal doublet installations based on the grid-based potential assessment.
• Estimate the average power and total energy yield for specific locations using the provided MWt and PJ metrics.
• Plan regional energy infrastructure development based on the spatial distribution of geothermal resources.
• Conduct comparative analysis of geothermal potential under the defined Coefficient of Performance (COP) and return temperature parameters.

Strengths

• Based on a commissioned study by a specialized firm (IF-Technology) for an authoritative client (Province of Zuid-Holland).
• Provides quantitative estimates for two key metrics: average power (MWt) and energy quantity (PJ).
• Uses a defined spatial analysis grid of 1.5 by 3.0 km, corresponding to the footprint of a geothermal system.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
• Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
