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.

Creative Engagement for Underground Thermal Energy Storage
“We chose creative and playful approaches because they offer accessible and enjoyable ways to explore complex and unfamiliar issues.” Dr. Merryn Thomas talks about new and innovative methods to engage with stakeholders. Public engagement is essential to ensure that technologies like Underground Energy Storage (UTES) are accepted, fair and legitimate. But for many of us, UTES is invisible and unfamiliar.

PUSH-IT members gathers in Darmstadt to discuss the project’s progress
Last week, the PUSH-IT project team met for two days at TU Darmstadt, Germany, to review what’s been accomplished so far and plan the next steps for the project. With the project now almost halfway through its four-year timeline, it was the perfect moment to reflect on progress and explore ways to keep pushing the project forward.
