This study is about the use of geothermal energy for electricity production, heating and cooling spaces and hot water supply. The technology and function of a geothermal plant is described, and the environmental, economic and social sustainability of geothermal energy is analysed. Furthermore, reference is made to Life Cycle Assessment, a method of environmental impact evaluation. Finally, the existing legislative framework of Greece, as well as previous forms of it is presented and the progress that has been made in favor of geothermal energy becomes apparent.
