Environmental benefits from geothermal energy use with a well doublet located in the Szczecin Trough (NW Poland).

The article presents environmental aspects related to the use of geothermal waters of the Lower Jurassic in the area of the Szczecin Trough. The research area located in the north-western part of the country has been successfully using underground waters of the Lower Jurassic since the 1990s to generate thermal energy at two geothermal heating plants located in Pyrzyce and Stargard. In the case of the area in question, it was proposed a hypothetical geothermal doublet located in the vicinity of the city of Choszczno, for which numerical simulations were carried out for different variants of the locations of the wells and the intake capacity.
