Austria: Geothermal Energy Session at European Geosciences Union General Assembly - Submit Abstracts

EGU General Assembly 2020

3-8 May 2020, Vienna, Austria
Abstract submission (deadline: 15 January 2020, 13:00 CET)

The European Geosciences Union (EGU) General Assembly 2020 will bring together geoscientists from all over the world to one meeting covering all disciplines of the Earth, planetary and space sciences. The EGU aims to provide a forum where scientists, especially early career researchers, can present their work and discuss their ideas with experts in all fields of geoscience.

Session ERE2.6: Exploration, utilization and monitoring of conventional and unconventional geothermal resources

With an increasing demand for low-carbon energy solutions, the need of geothermal resources utilization is accelerating. Geothermal energy can be extracted from various, often complex geological settings, e.g. fractured crystalline rock, magmatic systems or sedimentary basins. Current advancements also target unconventional systems (e.g., Enhanced Geothermal Systems, super-hot, pressurized and co-produced, super-critical systems) besides conventional hydrothermal systems. Optimizing investments leads to the development of associated resources such as lithium, rare earths and hydrogen. This requires a joint effort for monitoring, understanding and modelling geological systems that are specific to each resource.
