Improving the temperature predictions of subsurface thermal models by using high-quality input data. Part 2: A case study from the Danish-German border region

With regard to the utilization of geothermal energy, the Rhaetian and the Middle Buntsandstein sandstone reservoirs are found with temperatures within the range of 40-80 °C, suitable for low enthalpy heating purposes, in most of the area and locally also with higher temperatures. Temperatures above 120 °C, of interest for the production of electricity, are observed only in the very southeastern part of the study area.
