摘要
Jordan has rich geothermal resources in the low enthalpy ranges as hot springs and wells distributed along many geothermal fields. Underground temperatures within the first 100 m, suitable for supply and storage of thermal energy for various locations in Jordan, are presented. They include Amman, Aqaba, Ghor-Safi, Irbid, Ma'an, Shoubak, and Zarqa. Geothermal energy can help Jordan to be less dependent on imported oil. Standing column well systems are suitable in geological regions with plentiful ground water. This system suits many geothermal places in Jordan. Also, ground source heat pump systems can also be adapted in Jordan.
