Short summary
Geothermal resource is heat energy that can be recovered from underground in the Earth. As part of the European H2020 GEMex project, 3D geological models were constructed for the geothermal sites of Los Humeros and Acoculco in Mexico. These models allow a better understanding of the rock types and structure when targeting deep sources of geothermal energy; they will be updated during the project, serving as a framework for simulating the geothermal system.
