Abstract: Geothermal energy is a widely available renewable energy source. In Croatia geological data have been indicating promising potential, especially in the North-Eastern part of the country with a geothermal gradient higher than 49°C/km and terrestrial heat flux of 76mW/m2. Nonetheless, despite this potential, this resource is not highly exploited to date. Efficient use of geothermal energy can contribute on reducing Croatia’s energy dependence.
