Aquifer storage for Germany
The workshop will take place as a side event on 19 February 2025 from 14:00 to 17:30 in the Oberrheinhalle K4. To register free of charge, please send a short message to: maximilian.noethen@geo.uni-halle.de
In a decade of progressive energy transition, European countries, including Germany, are facing the challenge of coping with seasonal imbalances in heating and cooling demand. Aquifer thermal energy storage (ATES) systems, which utilise groundwater as a storage medium in an open-loop geothermal system, offer a promising solution. Despite its considerable potential, ATES has still not reached market maturity in Germany.
This event will highlight current obstacles and discuss possible solutions. The focus is on projects that promote progress in research and practice, as well as on developing perspectives for the integration of ATES in modern energy networks. The workshop offers an excellent opportunity to exchange ideas with experts in aquifer storage and to expand your own network.
