Abstract

Geothermal energy is one of the most important renewable energy sources which provides a massive contribution to the existing region. Low-enthalpy resources are convenient, especially for direct usage applications such as household and greenhouse heating and thermal tourism with today's technology. Direct usage applications have social and economic positive effects via supplying the primary demand of the local communities, such as heating and nourishment. Although geothermal energy is clean and renewable, that causes adverse environmental impacts during drilling or usage stages. Therefore, some criteria should be taken into consideration for the sustainable evaluation of the source. These criteria can be identified within the determined framework of sustainable development goals for each project. In this study, a newly discovered geothermal energy resource at Kırklareli- Asılbeyli Region is investigated for potential applications according to the UN Sustainable Development Goals. It is pointed out the precautions should be taken into consideration from the discovery phase until the end of life for sustainable use of the source.
