TRANSGEOTransforming abandoned wells for geothermal energy production

https://www.interreg-central.eu/projects/transgeo/
INTERREG Central Europe 2021-20272023-2026The fossil fuels industry is declining in central Europe and leaves behind countless gas and oil wells. The TRANSGEO project is turning this environmental problem into an opportunity: it investigates the potentials of such abandoned infrastructures for producing and storing green geothermal energy. The partnership develops a transnational strategy and regional action plans to give a second life to the wells and tests their repurposing potential in local pilot actions.hydrocarbon wells, geohermal energy, energy transition, strategy, action planHelmholtz-Centre Potsdam German Research Centre for Geosciences
