Consortium

The consortium is ideally positioned for such an approach, as it relies on several national geological surveys with a unique access to vast databases and subsurface information on operating geothermal and hydrocarbon operations, combined with specific expertise from academic institutions and selected industry partners with experience and ambitious goals in geothermal developments and a keen interest in the application of the approach developed in GO-Forward. The focus will be on a combination of technology options that are fit for geological settings representative for a broad range of geothermal settings in Europe.

Fraunhofer IEG

IEG is coordinating the project and leading WP1 and WP2. They provide extensive knowledge in forward modelling of carbonate systems, as well as ML-aided data analysis.
