An interesting company in Hungary is deriving Methane from thermal waters to be used for power generation. Question is can this be called indirect geothermal use?
In its quarterly report, Hungarian geothermal company PannErgy talks about a subsidiary of the company that sells electricity. While not geothermal, the firm has an interesting element. It actually uses methane taken from thermal waters to produce electricity. So some indirect use of geothermal energy, or at least the hot water thereof.
Berekfürdö Energy Production and Service was bought by PannErgy in 2010.
So question is if this is done somewhere else in the world?
