The CHPM2030 project is releasing a Delphi survey this week, in order to look into the future of the Combined Heat, Power and Metal extraction (CHPM) technology. It is sent out to a selected group of Experts, on geothermal energy and on the mineral sector. The participants are asked to express their opinion on uncertain, but important matters of this novel technology, to extract geothermal energy and metals in a single-interlinked process.
So far the project already provided a methodology framework, laboratory results on metal content mobilization, using mild leaching, and simulations for orebody characteristics (see www.chpm2030.eu/outreach). The current tasks include metal recovery (at high pressure/temperature geothermal fluid electrolysis and at low pressure/temperature gas-diffusion electro-precipitation and electro-crystallization), system integration and integrated environmental assessment (environmental, social and financial aspects).
You are welcome to participate in the research on the future of the Combined Heat, Power and Metal extraction technology! Please email your field of expertise to Tamas Miklovicz (tamas.miklovicz@lapalmacentre.eu) and you will receive the form.
Note: Participation in the survey takes approximately 30 minutes and your answers will be kept strictly confidential and anonymous.
