Deep hydrothermal geothermal energy is a building block in the energy transition. The extraction of thermal waters from up to several thousand meters with temperatures of well over 100°C is associated with hydrochemical and technical challenges. Changes in temperature and pressure in a closed doublet system can lead to the formation of mineral precipitates and corrosion processes, which make it difficult to extract thermal water in a controlled manner. However, the development and application of hydrochemical and technical strategies makes the controlled and sustainable extraction of deep thermal water possible. The prerequisite for this, however, is a sound understanding of hydrogeochemical processes.
