IRETHERM项目正在通过对新的和现有的地球物理和地质数据进行综合建模，从战略上了解爱尔兰的深层地热能潜力。IRETHERM研究的一个方面集中在爱尔兰的放射性花岗岩上，那里放射性元素浓度的增加提供了更高的产热（HP），表面热流（SHF）和地下温度。了解花岗岩对爱尔兰热场的贡献对于评估这种低焓环境的地热能潜力非常重要。本研究的重点是爱尔兰西部的高威花岗岩，以及爱尔兰东部的伦斯特花岗岩和埋藏的埃姆斯敦花岗岩。
The IRETHERM project is developing a strategic understanding of Ireland’s deep geothermal energy potential through integrated modelling of new and existing geophysical and geological data. One aspect of IRETHERM’s research focuses on Ireland’s radiothermal granites, where increased concentrations of radioelements provide elevated heat-production (HP), surface heat-flow (SHF) and subsurface temperatures. An understanding of the contribution of granites to the thermal field of Ireland is important to assessing the geothermal energy potential of this low-enthalpy setting. This study focuses on the Galway granite in western Ireland, and the Leinster and the buried Kentstown granites in eastern Ireland.
