High Temperature Instruments for supercritical geothermal reservoir characterization and exploitation
HITI
The HITI project aims to provide geophysical and geochemical sensors and methods to evaluate deep geothermal wells up to supercritical conditions (T>380°C).
Feasibility of geothermal power production from deep hydrothermal reservoirs - Completion of the Groß Schönebeck-doublet with the 2nd well
Feasibility
The Rotliegend of the North German basin is the target reservoir of an interdisciplinary investigation program to develop a technology for the generation of geothermal electricity from low-enthalpy reservoirs.
Integrated Geophysical Exploration Technologies
I-GET
The share of renewable energy sources in the European energy balance can be increased by a meaningful contribution of geothermal energy. Since the mining cost (exploration and drilling) to access the resources represents over 60% of the total investment, a reduction in mining cost would increase the competitiveness of geothermal energy significantly. This goal can be achieved if we had a way to detect the presence of the fluids inside the natural and/or enhanced geothermal systems before any drilling operation.
Enhanced Geothermal Innovative Network for Europe
ENGINE
The contribution of geothermal energy is a key factor to the successful achievement of the objectives of the European Commission concerning the development of renewable and sustainable energy.
Efficient Low Temperature Geothermal Binary Power
Low-Bin
The LOW-BIN project aims in improving cost-effectiveness, competitiveness and market penetration of geothermal electricity generation schemes, targeting both hydrothermal resources for immediate market penetration and future hot dry rock systems...
The operational reliability of the geothermal used groundwater systems investigated with special consideration to microbial activity and particle relocation – screening on the representative sites (Aquiscreen)
AquiScreen
The relevancy of alternative energy resources is still increasing because of limited fossil fuels and the negative effects of climate change due to the accumulation of CO2 in the atmosphere.
Optimisation of co-digestion in terms of the specific biogas production, the product quality, and its integration in regional waste and wastewater management concepts
Co-Vergärung
Co-digestion is a four stage process. Organic waste and sewage sludge or renewable primary products and manure are degraded by microorganisms to methane and carbon dioxide. There are two profits: The digested sludge is a valuable fertilizer or soil conditioner and the gas generates renewable energy.
Greenhouse-gas Removal Apprenticeship and Student Program
GRASP
Investigations concerning possibilities to reduce CO2 emissions in the atmosphere are receiving a great attention as driven by the global warming effects of the carbon dioxide gas.
