Drill core scanning and geothermic measurements
A cored borehole is currently being drilled on the RINGEN research center site, which will provide rock samples from depths ranging from the surface to 550m. Their analysis and geophysical measurements directly in the borehole will provide valuable information for planning underground heat storage in boreholes of various depths.

Regulatory perspectives on UTES
One of the key challenges faced by the PUSH-IT project is the complex regulatory landscape for High Temperature Underground Thermal Energy Storage (HT-UTES) technologies. This varies significantly across different countries. PUSH IT aims to identify and compile key regulations, evaluate their effectiveness and propose guidelines for a more effective and proportionate regulatory approach. This will help streamline the permitting process and accelerate the deployment of geothermal storage projects.
