GeoEn Summer School
The goal of the GeoEn Summer School is to give an introduction and an overview of the new multidisciplinary research field GeoEnergy. You will learn interesting facts about the research carried out in our project, including geoscientific, engineering and social aspects. The scientists will present their work in the main research themes of GeoEn, such as (1) Geothermal Energy, which represents a clean and efficient geological energy source, (2) Shale Gas as an unconventional natural gas resource, and the CCS process chain with (3) CO2 capture, transport, utilization (modern power plant technologies) and (4) geological CO2 storage. These four core topics are studied in an integrated approach using the synergy of cross-cutting themes. The latter encompass new exploration and reservoir technologies as well as innovative monitoring methods, both complemented by numerical simulations of the relevant processes including flow dynamics or heat transfer in the subsurface and along the technological process chains.
You will have the opportunity to visit the CO2 storage pilot site Ketzin.
