Happy Holiday Season!
We are at the end of 2019 which was a great year for the MEET project. Thank you for the support. The MEET team is wishing you all a great new year with success and joy!

A part of MEET project consists in the the demonstration of electricity and thermal power generation from various geological contexts. Six demonstration sites were selected based on temperature, flow and geological environment. The first demonstration sites are Chaunoy (France, sedimentary geological context), Soultz-sous-Forêts (France, granitic geological context) and Reykjanes (Iceland, volcanic geological context). On these…
The findings of the technical and demonstration work packages 3 to 5 are united and up scaled within work package 7 to make them visible, available and usable to the geothermal community. Therefore, various deliverables are elaborated to cover a wide range of stakeholder’s interests and needs. While some of the outcomes are encompassing and…
The UGOE along with UEG are currently involved in the conversion of the University’s natural gas power plant that supplies the campus with heating, into a geothermal power station. To do this, we must first understand what the subsurface looks like at around 5000m depth, as this is where we expect to reach the target…
MEET associated partner United Downs Deep Geothermal Power (UDDGP) project successfully finished drilling the deepest wells onshore Great Britain The two deep wells of the UDDGP project were finished this year in April (UD-1, 5057 m TVD) and June (UD-2, 2214 m TVD) both successfully intersecting the targeted Porthtowan Fault Zone. Preliminary results from investigation…
In parallel of in-situ test of colder reinjection with the test heat exchanger, a numerical model of this reinjection is mandatory to assess its effect on short and long terms powerplant operation. A possible impact would be a decrease of production temperature due to hydraulic connection already existing between the different wells. To achieve this…
In order to quickly boost deep geothermal energy production, MEET project is aiming at valorising low temperature resources in existing subsurface facilities. Regarding EGS power plants, MEET envisions to extract more energy by reinjecting the brine at lower temperature. In that framework MEET is working on Soultz-sous-Forêts power plant which is currently reinjecting at an…
