Fraunhofer Research Institution for Energy Infrastructures and Geothermal Systems IEGOur competence center for Post-Mining-Exploitation deals with the analysis of existing mining infrastructures and their potentials for the utilization of heating and cooling purposes. Out of this reason, heating and cooling potentials are determined and underground storage concepts for the use and integration of mine water as well as potentials for the coupling of heating and cooling networks are evaluated. In addition to digitizing mine maps, we create three-dimensional mine models, implement well path and casing designs and conceptualize the connection of mine layouts to above-ground technologies, such as solar thermal and heat pump systems.
