  1. 1. Techno-economic analysis and simulation of low temperature district heating networks

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Energi och byggnadsdesign; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö

    Author : Ilia Iarkov; [2023]
    Keywords : Low-temperature district heating; Modelica; BTES; LCA; LCC; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The continuous increase in global energy consumption has led to a greater focus on the energy required for heating buildings. This thesis presents a techno-economic model for analysing low-temperature district heating networks coupled with a geothermal heat source. READ MORE

  3. 2. Methodology for Stored Heat “Heat In Place” (HIP) assessment of geothermal aquifers – Exemplified by a study of the Arnager Greensand in SW Scania

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

    Author : Oskar Sundberg; [2023]
    Keywords : geothermal energy; geothermal resource assessment; geothermal potential; volume method; volumetric method; recovery factor; direct use; direct heat; Mesozoic aquifers; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : In the sedimentary bedrock of southwest Scania, located in the southernmost part of Sweden, there are several low-enthalpy Mesozoic sandstone aquifers situated at different depths. These aquifers collectively hold the potential for direct-heat geothermal utilization. READ MORE

  4. 3. The transition from fossil energy to renewable energy : Difficulties and opportunities

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för nationalekonomi och statistik (NS)

    Author : Bakri Masri; [2023]
    Keywords : climate change; policy interventions; path dependency theory; energy; solar; wind; hydroelectric; geothermal; biomass;

    Abstract : The world’s demand for energy has steadily increased in recent years, driven by economic and population growth, coupled with the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. However, using fossil fuels to meet the energy demand has led to various environmental and social problems, including air pollution, climate change, and geopolitical conflicts. READ MORE

  5. 4. The future of geothermal energy in Europe

    University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Energisystem och byggnadsteknik

    Author : Susana Barquín del Rosario; [2022]
    Keywords : Geothermal Energy; Opportunities; Risks; Barriers; Development scenarios; Status in Europe; Potential;

    Abstract : In this paper it is investigated the role that geothermal energy could play in theenergy mix, to meet new system requirements. As any other source, geothermal energy harnessing implies a number of risksmainly related to induced seismicity and landslides, together with the releaseof as greenhouse gases and metal salts.
