Geoenergy for the campus

HT-ATES could play an important role in a future renewable energy system. The prerequisites for this are technical feasibility, economic viability and public acceptance. DeepStor will investigate this potential by looking at the water-bearing margins of depleted hydrocarbon reservoirs. Such areas could be particularly suitable for this application: Formerly exploited hydrocarbon reservoirs provide both the necessary reservoir conditions and valuable information about the properties of the subsurface.
