The city of Tarragona in Spain will be monitoring subsoil temperatures to investigate the viability of geothermal energy for heating and air-conditioning.
[We had previously reported](https://www.thinkgeoenergy.com/new-open-tool-to-help-promote-exploration-of-spains-geothermal-potential/) on a software tool developed by ICGC that can help in generating maps to quantify the available energy in the deep aquifers in Spain. Data from these sensors will then be used to assess the potential of using geothermal energy for the heating of buildings, in urban air conditioning networks, and to produce domestic hot water. Maps will be generated from the data collected by the ICGC which will then be integrated into the free software Geo-SIV so that it can be accessed by the public.
