Geothermal heat recovery and energy storage from underground mines

该项目旨在研究地下矿山作为低碳热提取和储存来源的再利用技术方面，同时为矿山恢复提供可持续的解决方案。该项目的预期成果包括一个框架，以评价矿井水系统作为地热热源的可行性；提出的技术的实验和实地探索；以及优化抽热过程的策略。总体而言，该研究为可再生能源转型提供了显著的好处，同时最大限度地减少了采矿后景观的不利影响。

This project aims to investigate the technological aspects of re-using underground mines as a source for low-carbon heat extraction and storage – while simultaneously providing sustainable solutions for mine rehabilitation. Expected outcomes of this project include a framework to evaluate the viability of a mine-water system as a geothermal heat source; experimental and field exploration of the proposed technology; and strategies to optimise the heat extraction process. Overall, the research provides significant benefits for renewable-based energy transformation while minimising the adverse impacts of post-mining landscapes.
