Call
Detailed Call Description
The following can be considered:
- Capture of greenhouse gases, storage or reinjection schemes for the development and exploitation of geothermal reservoirs, in particular those with high content of non-condensable gases (NCGs), and the use of alternative fluid to brine.
- Techniques for reservoir development and exploitation in a wider range of geological settings, including complex and/or untested geological conditions.
- Potential introduction and demonstration of the innovative technologies as part of existing geothermal plants in Europe and abroad.
- Novel methods and technologies to find and develop productivity from near magmatic, superhot/supercritical zones that are currently unexploitable and non-commercial.
This topic requires the effective contribution of SSH disciplines and the involvement of SSH experts, institutions as well as the inclusion of relevant SSH expertise.
