Co-funded by the EU

Geoenergy Leap

Promotes the utillization of geoenergy in the providences.

Medium deep energy wells for research and training use

Outcomes

The key outcomes of the project are medium-deep (600-800 m) geothermal wells in each province integrated into research and teaching infrastructure built around the wells.

Deeper geothermal wells to achieve a higher energy production volume per well

  • a new public dimensioning tool for medium-deep geothermal energy systems
  • national bedrock thermal conductivity map
  • pilot studies on integrating geoenergy into the local heat distribution system and/or as a hybrid with other energy forms
  • pilot studies on the exploitation of groundwater energy and thermal energy storages
  • the possibilities of geoenergy and its technical, economic and environmental impacts.

Geothremal energy as a heat source interest due to its high energy potential
