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…

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…
