Potential Geothermal Sources in Zuid-Holland, 2016 Study

A 2016 study commissioned by the province of Zuid-Holland and carried out by IF-Technology assessed potential geothermal energy sources. The dataset likely contains geospatial information on subsurface heat resources. It is published by the Dutch Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations under a CC-PDM-1.0 license.

Use Cases

• Map subsurface heat resources based on the geospatial data mentioned in the description
• Model geothermal energy potential for district heating systems based on the study's findings
• Identify suitable locations for geothermal well drilling based on the assessed resource data
• Conduct regional energy planning based on the province-level geothermal assessment

Strengths

• Data originates from a commissioned study by a specialized firm (IF-Technology).
• Available in multiple geospatial formats (WMS, WFS, PNG, HTML) for different use cases.
• Published under a permissive public domain license (CC-PDM-1.0).

Limitations

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