GEOTHERMAL RESOURCES AT LOW TEMPERATURE FOR GREENHOUSE APPLICATION IN RURAL ECONOMY
Carlo Alberto Campiotti, Francesca DondiENEA Casaccia, dpt. BAS
Email: [email protected] november, 2007
ENERGY FOR GREENHOUSESAgriculture is directly responsible for 3-5% of the total fuel used in European western countries, some 40% of that being for heating. Of this thermal energy consumption, an average of 60% is spent for greenhouse heating, relatively more in the north and less in the south.
So, we end up with greenhouse heating making up about 2% of EU western countries total energy consumption.

Geothermal water at low-temperature is compatible with a wide range of geothermal greenhouses (forced-air distribution employing water-to-air heat exchangers, hot water radiator systems as plastic pipes and finned tubes, liquid-based radiant heat in the floor, bench-mounted-liquid based radiant heat, direct soil heating) with energy capacity ranging from 20 to 70 W/m2

GEOTHERMAL ENERGY AND GREENHOUSE HEATING
Nowadays, the European energy demand is in the range of 1,292 MtOE/year, of which about 2% as energy demand for greenhouse agriculture (26 MtOE/year).
If we focus on the EU target of 12% as renewable supply, we would have 26*0.12 = 3.12 MtOE/year as potential energy renewable supply target according to the project energy objectives.
If we look at the potentially enormous quantity of geothermal heat (10-15 million tOE), and according to the geothermal energy used for the greenhouse heating industry which is only 0,1 million tOE/year, which represents 0.38% (0.1/26*100 = 0.38%) of the total greenhouse energy demand.
Although the numerous factors, e.g. technical problems of transportation to users, the imbalance between continuous supply and periodic utilization the availability of local demands for the usually huge heat sources, etc., which limit its applicability, the geothermal greenhouse supply is very low.
The geothermal greenhouse heating could potentially provide of 46% (12/26*100 = 46%) of the total energy greenhouse demand in the European greenhouse industry.

The distance between the resource and the plant greenhouse must be as small as possible to reduce the costs of pipelines and avoid lost of temperature.
The short-term applications makes geothermal energy uneconomical because to achieve real benefits it must be used over a long period of the year and should be addressed to cover base heat requirement of the greenhouse energy load while peek heat demand should be meet with conventional heat technologies.
The payback period for covering investment costs is strongly influenced by the heating system solution which, however, depends on the greenhouse dimension and technology level and the local climate.
The timing, the agro-techniques and the biological characteristics of the crops (vegetable or flower) are of primary importance to achieve economical benefits with geothermal greenhouse.
To achieve appreciable savings as well as an optimal utilization factor, it should be adopted an integrated scheme and/or a cascade heat system to simplify and to optimise the heat use from geothermal sources.
The application of heat pumps for extracting energy from very low temperature resources (<40°C) and the development of appropriate managing options to integrate more energy users in order to decrease the price of used heat.
Factors which determine the greenhouse geothermal economy
1) simple installations (10 to 40 W/m2), made of cheap plastic materials (polyethylene or polybutylene) with installations directly connected to the heat resource which has the main scope to increase indoor temperature during short, cold periods.
2) sophisticated solutions (50 to 70 W/m2), that can cover intensive production requirements in specialized greenhouses adapted for high quality plant productions even for geographical areas characterized by severe climatic conditions.
3) in-between solutions (30 to 70 W/m2), that comply with costs, grower’s experience and market.
As general figure, it should be kept in mind that for the mild climates (which characterize the Mediterranean countries) a practical criteria is to supply 150-200 kcal/h per square meter of covered surface (0.2 kW/m2).

Research, institutes, experts and scientists, since they have to provide know-how, sustainable technologies and proposals for Municipalities and public actors of geothermal regions to support the use of local renewable energies for greenhouse industry.
Farming greenhouse communities, which have to be convinced of the opportunity of developing available geothermal resources as potential greenhouse districts.
Regional and local Authorities, since they must put in operation legislative measures (proposals by experts) for supporting programmes for financing help, grants and subsidies aimed at favouring RES implementation.
Supporters (trade unions, environmentalist organizations, the general public, the professional networks,banks etc.), since they should encourage end-users with information on the profitability of geothermal energy in the greenhouse sector.
Press and media, because they are particularly important to establish communication channels, general awareness and sensibility between key-actors (stakeholders, decision-makers, supporters, users).
