Avaliação do potencial do subsolo da cidade de Naviraí - MS para utilização da energia geotérmica superficial

Abstract

The rapid population growth, associated with technological advances, bring about a growing demand for energy consumed on the planet. At the other side of the spectrum, energy production from non-renewable sources and pollutants needs to be reduced. Balancing this equation requires optimizing the energy consumption and increase its production using renewable sources. In this context, this paper explored the potential of the undersoil of the city of Naviraí-MS for its use on the climatization of environments, making use of surface geothermal energy. Studies have shown a temperature stability as the depth of the analyzed layer increases. The selected data showed that during the studied period the surface temperature presented a thermal amplitude of 38.75 °C, at depths of 2.0m, 4.0m and 6.0m, as the amplitudes were 3.87 °C, 2.38 °C and 1.5 °C. This undersoil stability accredit as a potential source of heat for use in heating and cooling built environments.
