Abstract<\/strong>:<\/p>

The GeoS-TECHIS project targets the decarbonization of industrial thermal processes, which currently account for approximately 20% of global energy consumption and predominantly depend on fossil fuels. The project introduces an innovative thermal system, combining a high temperature heat pump and a heat-driven cooling unit, which leverages geothermal resources as heat source, sink and storage. GeoS-TECHIS focuses on industries with sub-200 \u00b0C process heating needs and modest cooling requirements above 0 \u00b0C, aiming to reduce their carbon footprint by 60 – 75% compared to current fossil fuel-dependent solutions.<\/p>

The project will achieve these goals through several key initiatives: developing and field-testing an advanced thermal system using water (R718) as the working medium, designed for versatility across industrial applications and efficiently utilizing geothermal sources, industrial excess heat, and renewables like solar thermal; exploring cutting-edge concepts for high-temperature thermal energy storage (TES), focusing on operational flexibility in industrial contexts with sustainable thermal fluids; devising hybrid digital modelling tools to optimize industrial thermal processes and guide industries in decarbonization through tailored roadmaps; promoting societal and environmental acceptance through safe operational practices, comprehensive impact assessments, and advanced methodologies for geothermal energrgy potential mapping.<\/p>

GeoS TECHIS involves 10 partners and 1 affiliated: four private industry and technology providers, two universities, four research organizations and a specialised Communication and exploitation SME all committed and experienced within thermal research, innovation, manufacturing, testing and dissemination, thus a full complementary partnership for promoting the binomial geothermal energy & industry as a key pillar.<\/p>
