Registration is available for the International Symposium on Underground Thermal Energy Storage (UTES) taking place on the 28th of February 2024 in Offenburg, Germany as a side-event of the GeoTHERM symposium.

Attendance to this one-day event is FREE OF CHARGE but registration is mandatory. To register, click this link. Please RSVP before 30 January 2024.

The UTES Symposium is being organized by IEA Geothermal and GEOTHERMICA Initiative with the support of IEA Energy Storage TCP. The event provides a  remarkable platform for participants to gain insights into the latest underground thermal energy storage developments and engage with experts across various aspects of the technology. There will also be valuable networking opportunities in the evening after the event.

As we witness the rapid expansion of renewable energies, energy storage on various time scales becomes crucial for a robust and resilient energy system. Underground heat storage systems, with their larger capacity compared to above-ground tanks, are an ideal solution for conserving surplus energy generated during periods of abundance, such as summer, for utilisation during periods of energy production deficits, such as winter.

The symposium will comprehensively cover Underground Heat Storage Systems (UTES) in various forms, including Aquifer storage systems (ATES), Borehole thermal energy storage (BTES), Mine water thermal energy storage (MTES), and Pit thermal energy storage (PTES).
