Abstract
Geothermal energy takes a rather subordinate position among renewable energy sources. There are two possible sources for it: the radioactive decay of natural radio nuclides which causes the spread of heat onto the earth's surface, and the storage of solar energy in the top layers of the earth. For this reason, geothermal energy is available in many places and independent of the different seasons of the year, even if some regions do have a higher potential than others. In the city of Lund in Southern Sweden the potential is present and is exploited by the Municipality-owned utility.
