Summary The land acquired by ICE to harness geothermal sites are subject to restoration and preservation of forest ecosystems which are suitable to generate atmospheric carbon removal. As part of the Carbon Neutral Country Program 2.0, since 2016, ICE conducts forests inventories to determine the annual rate of CO2 removal of the natural ecosystems on Alfredo Mainieri Protti Geothermal Camp (AMPGC). The total reservoir or stock of carbon accumulated in the forest biomass at the AMPGC is 348,592 tCO2-e, equivalent to 194 tCO2-e/ha ( PGF-INISEFOR, 2017 ). The base inventory conducted in 2016 identified high forests as the main carbon drain from forestall biomass. This class contributed to 71% of the stock (138 tCO2-e/ha / 193 tCO2-e/ha). Secondarily, it is the pole stands class accumulated 28% of carbon fixed by forest biomass (55 tCO2-e/ha). The other smaller fractions (necromass, leaf litter, and herbaceous vegetation) contribute with only 1% (estimated as an average of 0,34%, equivalent to 0,7 tCO2-e/ha). At the end of the fourth periodic measurement from 2016-2020, there was an average annual increase of the total mass o removals of 16.745 tCO2-e/year in a total area of 1.450 ha with forest coverage, equivalent an average estimate by ha of 11.55 tCO2-e/ha-year.

Summary Geothermal energy is normally considered as renewable energy often related to sustainability and environmental friendliness. However, this energy has environmental impacts and geological risks, which will potentially cause social resistance. In this work, we show some of the most significant issues on social acceptance of three established geothermal power plants in Mexico. Fieldwork mainly through interviews and questioners were applied to inhabitants and stakeholders of three geothermal power plants, resulting that the communication between developers and inhabitants is not working as expected. In all sites, the interviewed persons expressed a lack of communication or even a lack of knowledge with respect to the geothermal energy that is taking place in their surroundings. No direct involvement with the geothermal resource is reported. Strong efforts on social acceptance have to be made if the goal is to balance social needs, economic interests, and environmental importance.

Summary In recent years, there has been renewed interest in making viable hydrocarbon production coupled with geothermal energy in sedimentary basins where there is already an infrastructure of wells producing from deep reservoirs at high temperatures. These studies in sedimentary basins involve challenges of integrating the heat flow changes throughout geological evolution with a reconstruction of the fluid flow history and the rock-fluid interaction. This understanding allows to rank areas of greater potential as a geothermal source of energy. In Colombia, the integration of information with an extensive characterization of production waters, hydrothermal springs and fumaroles allows us to highlight areas with geothermal gradients similar or higher than those analyzed globally in sedimentary basins such as Putumayo, Llanos Orientales and Catatumbo. The foreland basins associated with the uplift of the Eastern Cordillera of the Andes in northern of South America.

Summary One of the main uses that is given to shallow geothermal energy corresponds to the implementation of Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems, using the ground or groundwater as a sink or source of heat. From a bibliographic compilation, various concepts and useful methodologies were documented for the development of the preliminary stages of planning and designing a system with geothermal heat pump. A prototype of a cooling system for a computer room in the EIA University was proposed.

Summary The growth in population and energy requirement is a challenge for stakeholders in huge cities such as Buenos Aires. Sustainably meeting this demand is the goal demanded by society for this new century. The shallow geothermal energy (SGE) is a renewable energy very valuable. However, it is a great unknown. To overcome this initial barrier and make it known, the geothermal potential of the Matanza-Riachuelo Basin, where the City of Buenos Aires is located, were calculated. For the estimation of shallow geothermal potential, it is necessary to define the characteristics and behavior of the aquifers under exploitation. The heat transport equation in porous media was used on the basis of a geological and hydrogeological model. The input parameters necessary for this estimate were obtained from an exhaustive geological data base for the Matanza-Riachuelo Basin. The required parameters are mainly the groundwater velocity, the lithological description and the thickness of each hydrogeological formations and geothermal ground parameters (volumetric heat capacity and thermal conductivity). As a result, maps of SGE potential were obtained for the Matanza-Riachuelo Basin. This map reflects the viability of the exploitation of SGE in the City of Buenos Aires, thanks to the high geothermal potential values calculated.

Summary Is presented a summary of the progress of the exploration (geological and geochemical) of three geothermal areas located in the northern block of the Colombian Andes mountain range, associated with the volcanism, due to the subduction of the Pacific between the Nazca and the South American plates. Preliminary evidence indicates high enthalpy geothermal systems with thermal emanations structurally controlled by faults in the NE-SW direction as well as the contribution of deep fluids expressed as thermal springs and fumaroles.
