On the geothermal potential of crustal fault zones: a case study from the Pontgibaud area (French Massif Central, France)

Abstract The present study aims to understand the potential of a new and novel type of geothermal play system for high temperature and electricity production: crustal fault zones (CFZ). According to geological and geophysical data, the Pontgibaud fault zone (French Massif Central) is suspected to ho...
