Many processes release heat that is not used effectively. These are often continuous processes that produce heat day and night, summer and winter, including residual heat at temperatures above 70°C. It’s worthwhile storing this heat underground for use later on. In addition, summer heat can be used for heating in the winter.

Advantages
High-temperature heat storage in the ground saves a great deal of energy and is very environmentally friendly. A key advantage is that warm water can be delivered without the use of a heat pump. High-temperature heat storage can also be used to de-ice roads, bridges and runways. A number of successful high-temperature heat storage pilot projects have been completed in the Netherlands. In some cases, heat is stored at depths of more than 500 metres.

Our activities
We have a great deal of experience of hydrogeological and geothermal technology as well as reservoir thermal and chemical modelling We also model the release of heat to roads, bridges and runways.
