Abstract

Analysis of the state and prospects of geothermal energetics development in Russia and foreign countries is carried out. Trends of improving the geothermal energy technologies are considered. An estimation of the development of promising binary power units for electric energy production by using low-temperature geothermal and other heat sources is given. The geothermal projects being dominant and best suited to be implemented in Russia are estimated.
