Abstract
UNFORTUNATELY PROF . CHOUDHARY IS UNWELL AND SO WE HAVE HAD TO CANCEL THIS EVENT .
Geothermal energy systems have the potential to significantly contribute towards the decarbonisation of heating and cooling. While robust methods exist for systems at local scale, assessing the geothermal potential at city scale remains prohibitively difficult. This constitutes a significant barrier to wider geothermal utilisation, as uncertainty can prevent investment. This talk will present a methodology for city-scale geothermal potential quantification, building on previous work on quantifying the thermal state beneath cities. The methodology utilises statistical clustering to identify locations with similar thermal responses, producing ‘geothermal archetypes’, significantly reducing computational costs. Through the synergistic combination of numerical and analytical approaches, the potential for large-scale geothermal exploitation is quantified, considering downstream effects.
Open to all. Book at BookWhen .
