ThermoGIS shows the technical and economic potential for 'direct use' geothermal heat extraction in the form of a large number of maps. Using DoubletCalc1D, the technical model first determines the technical feasibility of geothermal hot water production (flow rate, power) per 1x1 km grid cell. Then, using an economic model, the economic potential is calculated.
Two alternative scenarios are calculated to determine the effect of stimulation and addition of a heat pump.

Pythermogis allows users to run their own doublet simulations by inputting their own aquifer and doublet properties to simulate the economic viability of geothermal doublets.
Pythermogis works by acting as a python API to the core ThermoGIS code, which is written in Java. This Java code is currently still closed source, but work will continue to incorporate this as pure python in pythermogis.
This is a work in progress, but we are happy to announce that this first version is available to be used by the public.

Pythermogis will be maintained by TNO – Geological Survey of the Netherlands. Development has been partially financed by the Horizon Europe-GoForward and Geothermal Atlas for Africa projects.
