Excerpt

This article is focused on research demand for the environmental and economic sustainable utilization of geothermal reservoirs for base load supply of heat and electricity by Enhanced Geothermal Systems; additional emphasis is placed on the promotion of the underground storage of thermal energy. Solutions for minimizing the mining risk and for addressing challenges related to the successful development and to the safe operation of geothermal systems are proposed. This includes the development of new technology approaches and concepts for scientific monitoring of operational and environmental processes related to geothermal systems. These research and development efforts require large research facilities and infrastructures. In addition to thermal energy extraction from the subsurface, shallow and deep geothermal reservoirs can also serve as underground thermal energy storage systems. The large potential for medium and high temperature underground thermal energy storage systems remains to be further investigated and developed.
