The Horizon Europe CRM-geothermal project: Deliverable 2.1 - Report identifying pre-existing sources of data at the selected sites

This report is a published product of the ‘CRM-geothermal’ project - an EU-funded, Horizon Europe project which aims to develop a novel and potentially disruptive technology solution that can help satisfy the European needs for critical raw materials (CRM) combined with energy production.

This report identifies sources of pre-existing data that underpin datasets and models for the sites being investigated in the ‘CRM-geothermal’ project. These sites are:

• High enthalpy volcanic geothermal areas - Reykjanes, Iceland; Tuzla, Turkey
• Low salinity water in fractured crystalline rock – Cornwall, UK
• Saline water in sedimentary basins – northern Germany
• Alkaline geothermal area – Olkaria, Kenya
• Metamorphosed flysch – Seferihisar, Turkey

Information on each of these is reported in a separate chapter. This report provides a brief introduction to the study areas and identifies the broad types of data and datasets already generated. It does not discriminate between open-file and restricted information, just identifying what exists. There has been no attempt to interpret those data in the report – this will be part of other Work Packages within the project.
