Netherlands: Dutch Government Initiates the ‘Netherlands Seismic Campaign for Geothermal Energy'

SCAN scouts the Dutch subsurface for future geothermal opportunities (Geodrilling International)

To accelerate the development of geothermal energy projects, the Dutch government has initiated the ‘Netherlands Seismic Campaign for Geothermal Energy' (Seismische Campagne Aardwarmte Nederland (SCAN)). SCAN will complete a map of the Dutch deep subsurface as much a possible by filling in the blank spots, and by doing so help support the future determination of geothermal potential.

Separate researches into, for example, safety, deep geothermal exploration and other relevant topics will also be carried out to further the understanding of geothermal energy exploitation.

Finally, scientific drilling will possibly take place during the final stages of the programme to help confirm and supplement the measured data to gain an even better understanding of the subsurface in these areas.
