PUSH-IT Round Tables: Engaging Stakeholders to Shape Viable UTES Solutions
In the coming months, PUSH-IT will organise a series of professional stakeholder round tables across its six pilot sites. These interactive sessions are designed to gather insights, drivers, and concerns from the organisations that play a key role in making Underground Thermal Energy Storage (UTES) a successful part of Europe’s future energy system.

Mud and well integrity tests performed at TU Delft
At TU Delft, research has been conducted into well design and so called mud and well integrity tests have been performed. We asked Alexis Koulidis, one of the researchers on this subject, what those are and how they contribute to achieving the PUSH-IT goals.

New advances in modelling and optimization of BTES using Neural Networks
Earlier this year, Willem Hagemanna, Jaßper Weichmann, Hannes Gernandt, Franziska Krenzlina and Johannes Schiffer published a paper on the use of neural networks in modelling and optimization of borehole thermal energy storage systems. These physics-based networks help to make the model suitable for optimization and control design.

New Model Brings HT-ATES into the Heart of Energy Systems
A new study by David Geerts and Wen Liu from Utrecht University and Alexandros Daniilidis from TU Delft presents a groundbreaking solution for integrating High-Temperature Aquifer Thermal Energy Storage (HT-ATES) into energy system modeling. The key innovation? A fast, accurate, and openly accessible data-driven model that estimates the production temperature of HT-ATES systems—without the computational…
