Underground Large Scale Seasonal Energy Storage for Decarbonized and Reliable Heat

About us

USES4HEAT aims to demonstrate innovative, large scale, seasonal thermal energy storage (TES) solutions enabling a future decarbonised and reliable heating supply. USES4HEAT demonstrates two innovative, cost-effective, large scale, seasonal underground TES (UTES; specifically aquifer (ATES) and borehole (BTES)) units to maximize the availability and resilience of heating supply whilst reducing energy losses and environmental impact. USES4HEAT seeks to demonstrate the TES units as fully integrated units in commercial large-scale district heating networks (DHN) while integrating industrial waste heat recovery and fulfilling industrial thermal demand. In doing so, USES4HEAT also demonstrates six innovative key enabling components/technologies and their integration with seasonal TES including advanced ATES drilling equipment, innovative BTES collectors plastic piping materials, innovative groundwater heat pump, enhanced hybrid photovoltaic-thermal solar panels integrated with UTES and AI big-data analytics and cloud based intelligent predictive energy management software. Coordinated by KTH Royal Institute of Technology (Sweden), the USES4HEAT outstanding consortium is composed of 27 partners spanning the entire innovation value chain from all over Europe. The project has received more than 9.7 million euros in funding from the EU’s HE Programme and will run from December 2023 to November 2027.
