New Model Brings HT-ATES into the Heart of Energy Systems
A new study by David Geerts and Wen Liu from Utrecht University and Alexandros Daniilidis from TU Delft presents a groundbreaking solution for integrating High-Temperature Aquifer Thermal Energy Storage (HT-ATES) into energy system modeling. The key innovation? A fast, accurate, and openly accessible data-driven model that estimates the production temperature of HT-ATES systems—without the computational cost of traditional physics-based simulations.

The Push-It General Assembly in Bochum to discuss the project’s progress
Last week, the Push-IT consortium came together for 2.5 energising and inspiring days at the Fraunhofer Institute in Bochum, Germany. It was fantastic to reconnect face-to-face with partners from across Europe and realign around our shared mission of driving innovation and impact. A highlight of the General Assembly was the interactive poster sessions — a welcome new format that sparked great conversations and deeper understanding across work packages. Each site had a presentation together with all the technologies of Work Package 3 and Tessel Grubben.

Students Explore the World Beneath Their Feet During GeoWeek
Each year during GeoWeek, students aged 10 to 15 get the opportunity to explore the exciting world of geo-sciences. Across the Netherlands, they participate in fieldwork, visit companies, or attend guest lectures given by professionals from the soil, water, and geo-information sectors. The focus of the week is on hands-on learning — from drilling soil samples and creating digital maps to testing the strength of dikes.
