Geothermal Energy Resources in Albania - Country Update

In this paper the geothermal region of Albanides and geothermal resources of Albania are presented. Shortly there are represented the methodic of geothermal studies and the evaluation of geothermal energy reserves. The fields of geothermal gradient are detailed and heat flow fields are represented. Particular attention is shown to the analysis of geothermal energy resources. Large numbers of geothermal energy of low enthalpy resources are located in different areas of Albania. Thermal waters are sulfate, sulfide, methane, and iodinate-bromide types. Thermal sources are located in three geothermal zones:
