Injection-Triggered Occlusion of Flow Pathways in Geothermal Operations

Geofluids, 2018
Reasons for injectivity decline were investigated in a low-enthalpy geothermal aquifer in Klaipeda (Lithuania). It is one of the study sites within the DESTRESS project, which demonstrates different stimulation techniques in geothermal reservoirs. Due to

Repurposing idle wells in the North German Basin as deep borehole heat exchangers

Geothermal Energy
This study investigates the feasibility to repurpose wells from gas production for geothermal closed-loop application in the North German Basin (NGB). The objective for this research topic is to extend the value-added chain of idle wells by re-completion

Correction to: Cyclic soft stimulation (CSS): a new fluid injection protocol and traffic light system to mitigate seismic risks of hydraulic stimulation treatments

Geothermal Energy, 2019
After publication of the article [1], it has been brought to our attention that there is an error in Figure 7. Instead of the “2” in the first row of the green and yellow stages of the traffic light system it should be a “3”.

Unearthing the Dynamics of Indonesia’s Geothermal Energy Development

Energies, 2022
Indonesia has one of the world’s biggest geothermal energy reserves, accounting for 28.61 Gigawatts of electric energy (GWe). However, as of 2022, the installed geothermal capacity in Indonesia was only around 2.175 GWe, just 7.6% of its estimated ...

Solar thermal vs. PV with a heat pump: A comparison of different charging technologies for seasonal storage systems in district heating networks

Energy Conversion and Management: X
The majority of district heating networks (DHNs) in Germany and other European countries are still supplied by fossil fuels. While several possible technical solutions exist to decarbonize DHNs, the problem is the availability of solar energy – thermal ...

Cyclic soft stimulation (CSS): a new fluid injection protocol and traffic light system to mitigate seismic risks of hydraulic stimulation treatments

Geothermal Energy, 2018
Hydraulic stimulation treatments are standard techniques to access geologic resources which cannot economically be exploited with conventional methods. Fluid injection into unproductive formations may increase their permeability by forming new fractures ...

Ion Superhighways in a Hierarchical Polymer‐Ceramic Membrane Enable Rapid and Selective Lithium Extraction

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A flexible PDMS‐LATP polymer‐ceramic membrane creates lithium‐ion “superhighways” for rapid and selective extraction from complex brines. The amorphous PDMS matrix suppresses nonselective leakage and stabilizes the ceramic network, while LATP provides preferential Li+ conduction.
