2 79% fossil ~87% base load 50% therm. energy The German CO 2 Challenge : Primary energy Energy Situation Today: Dependency on base load & fossil fuels Total CO 2 emission: unchanged Annual cost of energy transition: up to 20x10 9 Electricity in focus volatile sources Thermal energy strongly ignored Goals Climate Protection Planning 2030: CO 2 reduction for buildings by 67%

3 Geothermal Energy Research in Upper Rhine Graben Largest temperature anomaly in central Europe High temperature storage capacity in old hydrocarbon reservoirs Cross-border cooperation New Geothermal Utilization T 2.5km

4 GeoEnergy and Energetic Infrastructure at KIT-CN Characteristic Features: District heating with CHP (gas fired) Local supply of heat/chill (HP operation) Modular Low Temperature Power Plant (MoNiKa, 100kW installed) EnergyLab 2.0: Possibilitiy to connect MoNiKa Waste heat from Research Plants Concept for GeoEnergy Shallow Cooling High T. Utilization 100<T<190 C)

5 Existing Heat KIT - CN Autonomous heat supply Heat production currently 100% from fossil: gas (Backup: oil) CHP base load heat supply (heating demand summer) 2 MW e/t Temporary 2 CHP units for scientific purposes 2 * 4.5 MW e/t 3 hot-water boilers for peak load 49 MW t 1 2 3

11 Simulation: High-temperature storage systems Seasonal storage of heat: Summer: Injection of excess heat Winter: Production of stored heat Results: 1 st techno-economic feasibility in Rhine Graben Efficiencies η > 75%!! Economic long-term stability

12 Scientific Demonstrator Demonstrate economic feasibility Storage of heat in earlier oil reservoirs (horizontal wells, shallow sandstone formation) Production of heat from deep wells (provide base-load, also excess heat in summer) new type of geothermal utilization To be upscaled for real needs Based on experience from existing prototypes in Upper Rhine Graben Riehen, CH (65 C), Bruchsal, D (130 C), Rittershoffen, F (160 C), acceptability of this technology No economic pressure:low flow rates, low pressure change Prevent any induced seismicity due to sensitive infrastructure, No massive stimulation Integrate the surrounding communities (foster joint discussion groups, full transparency) scientific challenges Extraction of Li, new monitoring concepts, material coating, corrosion
