The volume of Tertiary and younger rocks in the Hungarian basin is about 160,000 km?. The volume of porous rocks with porosity over 10 per cent is about 20,000 km". More than 4,000 km º hot water of 60–200 C temperature is stored in the pores of the rocks between 1,000 and 3,000 m depth; most of it can be mobilized by putting down boreholes everywhere to create hot water wells with capacities of 1–3 mº/min. This immense quantity of stored heat when used down to 40 C tempera-ture amounts to 2-3 x 10" º cal, which is about 50 per cent of the calorific value of the world known petroleum doposits at the end of 1963.Following my proposition, the hot water is now being exploited on a greater scale for heating and industrial purposes since geothermal heating is more economic than any other alternative. Wells of 1,000-2,000 m depth will produce 1–3 mº hot water (60–100 C) per min for decades.
