WMS Geothermie Kreis Wesel: Medium-Deep and Deep Hydrothermal Geothermal Potential

WMS Geothermie Kreis Wesel is a geospatial dataset from the Bundesamt für Kartographie und Geodäsie. It contains layers showing the potential of medium-depth and deep hydrothermal geothermal energy in the Wesel district of Germany. The data was created as part of a preliminary study to support the heat transition and national climate targets for 2045.

Use Cases

• Map geothermal resource potential based on medium-depth hydrothermal layers
• Assess deep geothermal energy suitability for district heating projects
• Model contributions to the heat transition based on the described geothermal energy potential
• Support regional climate target planning for 2045 using the described resource data

Strengths

• Data originates from the Bundesamt für Kartographie und Geodäsie, a national mapping agency
• Focuses on a specific geographic area: the district of Wesel
• Distinguishes between two resource types: medium-depth and deep hydrothermal geothermal energy

Limitations

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