Aquifer thermal energy & CO2 storage impacts
Theme leader: Dr. Henk Kooi
Aquifer thermal energy storage (ATES) and Carbon capture and storage (CCS) are important elements
in the portfolio of measures needed in the global energy transition. The number of ATES systems
in The Netherlands is expontentially growing and CO2 storage in both saline aquifers and depleted
gas fields is increasingly deployed around the globe and considered in The Netherlands as well.
In spite of the apparent benefits of these techniques, their implementation requires adjustment
with respect to other (conjunctive) subsurface use such as water supply.
Under this theme, we conduct research aimed at comprehensive understanding of the chemical,
hydrological and thermal impacts of these systems.
