Geothermal Energy in Algeria
Temperatures of Geothermal Sources
(°C) - North Algeria
The compilation of the geological, geochemical
and geophysical data contributed to layout a preliminary
geothermal chart. More than two hundred (200) hot
springs have been recorded in the northern part
of the country. Approximately a third of these (33%)
show temperatures exceeding 45° C. High temperature
springs exist in Biskra which may reach 118° C.
Thermal gradient surveys helped to identify three
zones with a gradient over 5° C / 100 m : zone of
Relizane and Maskara, zone of Ain Boucif and Sidi
Aissa, zone of Guelma and Djebel El Onk.
