Summary

The authors demonstrate that geothermal heating may generate up to about 3.1 times, and geothermal absorption cooling 2.9 times as much revenue as power generation alone. Similarly, combined power generation and heating may generate about 2.1 times as much revenue as power generation and cooling about 1.2 times as much revenue as power generation alone. Cost and payback period comparisons appear to favour power generation, followed by district heating.
