DESTRESS

DESTRESS is a Horizon 2020-supported project (2016-2021) and brings together an international consortium comprising 16 partner institutions from six countries in Europe as well as South Korea. DESTRESS demonstrates methods to create and operate enhanced geothermal systems (EGS). The aim is to expand knowledge and to provide solutions for a more economical, sustainable and environmentally responsible exploitation of underground heat. EGSs allow the enormous untapped potential of geothermal energy to be put to widespread use. DESTRESS will improve the understanding of technological, business and societal opportunities and risks related to geothermal energy.
