UTES SYMPOSIUM 2024

Our Project Coordinator, Wim Van Helden from the Institute for Sustainable Technologies, presented TREASURE at the UTES SYMPOSIUM 2024 in Offenburg, Germany on February 28th.

The symposium, jointly organized by the GEOTHERMICA Initiative, IEA Geothermal, and IEA Energy Storage TCP, focused on underground thermal energy storage (UTES), with an aim to foster international collaboration and networking among researchers, industry experts, and public authorities to advance UTES-related discussions.

With over 130 attendees from 16 countries, speakers introduced UTES in various forms, including aquifer storage systems (ATES), borehole thermal energy storage (BTES), mine water thermal energy storage (MTES), and pit thermal energy storage (PTES). Discussions revolved around opportunities, challenges, and the future prospects of energy storage.
