VESTA – Very High Temperature Heat Aquifer Storage: Borehole simulation for geothermal wells in high temperature environments

• Research unit: SFOE
• Project number: SI/502362

Short description (English)

Geothermal energy is one of the sources for replacing fossil fuels in heat generation and storage. In particular, High Temperature Seasonal Underground Storage (HTS) is recognised as a component in the transition into CO2 neutral energy supply, as reflected in the funding of the ongoing Heatstore R&D project, which aims to provide a commercial demonstration of storage at temperatures from ~40 to ~80°C.
