GeoConnect³d is promoting a series of four online events aiming to demonstrate how the innovative methodology being developed by the project can be used to improve the geological understanding and, consequently, to identify geological potential and opportunities within a region.
Which topics will be covered?
The events are subdivided in the following themes and dates:
1) Geoheritage & Geotourism - 22 June 2020
2) Groundwater - 23 June 2020
3) Geothermal energy - 24 June 2020
4) Subsurface management - 26 June 2020
Who can be interested?
The events have a focus on the Roer-to-Rhine area of interest (crossing Belgium-France-Germany-Luxembourg-Netherlands). Any stakeholders interested in any of the four themes in this region are welcome to join us and give their valuable feedback about what we are developing in the project. The invitation is also extended to stakeholders in other regions with an interest in the project and its goals.
THEME 3: GEOTHERMAL ENERGY
The causes and consequences of climate change have made us think of an energy transition where local geo-resources, including geothermal energy, come to the foreground. GeoConnect³d is a cross-disciplinary project, funded under the GeoERA geo-energy theme, with a focus on providing relevant geological context to allow for the identification of opportunities in the shallower and deeper subsurface.
HOW CAN GEOCONNECT³D HELP?
In this ‘geothermal session’ of our series of online events, we will start from an overview of an actual geothermal installation and align that with the GeoConnect³d methods and preliminary results to explore the relevance of those techniques for geothermal resource management.
