State Programme for Research, Development and Innovation Oriented to the Challenges of Society. State Plan for Scientific-Technical Research and Innovation 2013-2016. <\/p>\n The main objective of this project is to strengthen and carry out a more detailed study using innovative geophysical and geochemical techniques for the exploration of high enthalpy geothermal resources on the islands of Tenerife, Gran Canaria and La Palma, enabling the further development of geothermal energy in the Archipelago and thereby reducing its energy dependence.<\/p>\n The proposed methodologies will be applied prior to carrying out geothermal boreholes and will greatly assist in the optimal location of the boreholes, as well as in re-evaluating the geothermal potential of the selected areas.<\/p>\n This project is partially a continuation of the project \u2018GEOTHERCAN: Experimental development of 3D models for the characterisation of geothermal reservoirs in the subsoil of the Canary Islands through the use and combined application of geophysical, geochemical and geological methods\u2019, (ref. IPT-2011-1186-920000) already completed in 2015. The actions of this new project are complementary to those already carried out in GEOTHERCAN, and seek to reduce uncertainty in the location of future exploratory boreholes and increase the exploration area of the island of Gran Canaria and La Palma. The results of this project, together with the information obtained in GEOTHERCAN, will promote the future development of the first high enthalpy geothermal plant in Spain, acting as a driving force for the incipient geothermal sector and as a stimulus for the development of geothermal energy. <\/p>\n The installation of the first geothermal plant in the Canary Islands will provide an important boost to sectors linked to this development, such as research centers applied to the knowledge of the subsoil, drilling companies and project development engineering companies, thereby generating quality employment.<\/p>\n The project will be replicable to other similar volcanic areas in the Peninsula, in places with calco-alkaline volcanism in the southeast and alkaline volcanism in the areas of Ciudad Real and Catalonia, as well as in other volcanic territories of the planet with geothermal anomalies (Azores Islands, Cape Verde, Aeolian Islands and volcanic areas of Italy; Greek Islands, Galapagos, etc.).<\/p>\n The aim of this project is to obtain a 3D model of the high enthalpy geothermal resources in Gran Canaria and La Palma by means of geochemical and geophysical studies in the surface environment. In the case of Tenerife, the island where most of the work on the geothermal resources of the Canary Islands has been focused, it is proposed to greatly reduce the uncertainty for the location of future exploratory boreholes.
