During a working visit of King Willem Alexander and Queen Maxima to the German state of Brandenburg, TU Delft and the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) signed a memorandum of understanding concerning research into geothermal energy.
The agreement between GFZ and the TU Delft concerns a long-term strategic cooperation, among other things in the fields of geothermal energy, heat storage and further underground storage possibilities. This also includes access to the GFZ's Groß Schönebeck geothermal research platform and to the research facilities of the faculty of Civil Engineering and Geosciences of TU Delft. The GFZ and TU Delft have been working together for more than six years. This new agreement consolidates the cooperation and will further integrate and strengthen European research on the energy transition.
