Section 4.1: Reservoir Technologies
International Centre for Geothermal Research
We develop technologies for making use of the underground in the context of a sustainable, environmentally friendly energy supply.
The main purpose of our work in Section 4.1 is the exploration and development of reservoirs for energy purposes. This goes hand in hand with the development of reliable technologies to extract the Earth's heat. Because we approach these topics in a comprehensive, holistic way, the researchers in our section have background in various disciplines of Earth science and engineering disciplines.
As a Research and Development platform for national and international geothermal projects in January 2009 the International Centre for Geothermal Research was installed at GFZ with Prof. Dr. Huenges as director.
