• The Institute for Geothermal Research (IGR DSC
  RAS) is organized in 1980 according to the
  Resolution of the Presidium of the Academy
  Sciences of the USSR N 571 of June 19, 1980.
• The Institute for Geothermal Research from May
  2002 is a structural unit of RAS in the structure
  of the Daghestan Scientific Centre RAS and the
  Department of Power Engineering, Mechanics and
  Processes of Management RAS.

The collaborators of the Institute have published
more than 1300 scientific works, including 30
monographs and proceedings, more than 350 papers
in central and international press, have got 27
patents and certificates for inventions.

In the IGR technologies of effective development
of geothermal and other associated types of
energy in a wide range of temperature of a heat
carrier are elaborated and substantiated,
including complex processing of stratal water
with the goal to extract valuable organic salts
and materials.
8
Realization of the program "Geothermal heat
supply of Makhachkala town on the basis of heat
pump systems with total capacity 40 Mwt" is
begun. A number of innovation projects of the
Institute, including "Creation of
energy-biological complex on the basis of
explored geothermal resources of the Northern
Daghestan" and other are admitted to introduction
in different objects of Machachkala and the
Republic of Daghestan.

The Institute is cooperated with WREC (UK), is an
associative member of the Geothermal Energy
Society of Russia and IGA.
