- Abstract
U.E. policy concerning the implementation of effective protection of the environment by providing a sustainable energy development, as expressed by the White Paper and the European Directive 2001/77/EC on energy production from renewable sources, has led to increasing concerns about promoting renewable energy and industrial technology support. While Webster's Dictionary defines prevention as "action to prevent something to happen", the pollution prevention objective consists of eliminating or minimizing the creation of pollutants at the source through promotional activities, incentives and enforcement measures to prevent pollution. The medium and long term focus regarding the reduction of unwanted side products, ought to be cost efficiency and environmental protection. Pollution is a complex phenomenon of modifying the natural properties of pure water through the introduction of substances or energy forms. Pollution prevention applies to the production process through the implementation of clean technologies and recovery equipment. Discharge of used geothermal water is a problem that is intended to be solved by studying employment rates within the allowable limits of these parameters, especially by determining the main economic and financial indicators leading to recoup the costs of discharge.
