Congratulations to Phil Vardon, who was awarded an NWO Open Technology Programme grant for the project entitled ATES Triplet.

Baptiste Lepillier held his PhD defence on the 29th of September 2020. You can access his thesis with the title ‘Characterization of a Fracture-Controlled Enhanced Geothermal System (EGS) in the Trans-Mexican-Volcanic-Belt (TMVB)’ via the TU Delft repository.

Maren Brehme gave a talk on Geothermal Energy in the Netherlands in an IGC online meeting.

TU Delft is leading a multi-million euro project to train geothermal experts. This connects to the Delft geothermal heat project, with deep wells under the campus.

A fund of 3.4M€ has been awarded by the European Commission to a project on geothermal energy, that will be led by researcher Maren Brehme (TU Delft). The project entitled ‘EASYGO: Efficiency and Safety in Geothermal Operations‘ is one of the Innovative Training Networks meant for extraordinary global research as well as excellent training opportunities for PhD candidates to reach doctorate level.

The project MiMo – Misi Monitoring received funding from KNAW (Koninklijke Nederlandse Akademie van Wetenschappen) for a Dutch – Indonesian collaboration on geothermal energy. It will be led by Assistant Professor Maren Brehme in a strong cooperation with the TBM faculty.

International research team presents combination of mapping of underwater structures and geochemical measurements.

The projects REFLECT, Nature’s Heat Seismic Monitoring and SUCCESS received awards for Geothermal Energy Research.

Tijdens het werkbezoek van Koning Willem Alexander en Koningin Maxima aan de Duitse deelstaat Brandenburg hebben de TU Delft en het Duitse Onderzoekscentrum voor Geowetenschappen in Potsdam (GFZ) een samenwerkingsovereenkomst getekend op het gebied van geothermische energie.

Heating our homes is warming up the Earth too. Associate Professor Phil Vardon and PhD candidate Ivaylo Pantev want to warm or cool buildings through their pile foundations, by using the natural temperature of the soil. If done well, this can help residents to save energy, money and problems for generations to come.
