The final conference of the GEMex - European and Mexican research group to develop exploration approaches and address exploitation concepts for superhot geothermal resources and for hot EGS, will hold its final conference on "Superhot Geothermal Systems and Development of EGS - from identification to characterisation and sustainable use", 18-19 February 2020 in Potsdam, Germany.
The GEMex project is a research cooperation between a European consortium (funded through H2020) and a Mexican consortium (funded by CONACyT) to develop exploration approaches and address exploitation concepts for superhot geothermal resources and for hot Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS).
The project includes resource assessment, exploration and characterisation of the deep structures, advanced reservoir models and exploitation concepts incl. drilling, stimulation and operational issues. In addition, environmental impact was assessed and public acceptance was actively investigated.
The final conference of GEMex – Superhot Geothermal Systems and Development of EGS – from identification to characterisation and sustainable use – will serve as a platform to present and discuss results from the project and to learn about other international research and projects related to the topics of superhot geothermal sources (SHGS) and hot EGS. Contributions are encouraged addressing any of the aspects associated with the investigation, development and/or exploitation of such geothermal resources in any part of the world.
