SAPHEA Tool and Market Uptake Hup for geothermal DHC
Tue, 29 Apr, 10:45–12:30 (CEST), 14:00–15:45 (CEST) Room 2.97
Tue, 10:45
At the heart of the Hub is the SAPHEA Tool, a GIS-based platform that integrates 10 pan-European datasets and calculation modules to estimate the estimated generation profile and levelized cost of heat from both deep geothermal and shallow. This tool builds on previous research outcomes, from the Geophires project and the Cost Action GeoDHC.
The Hub also offers a Knowledge Base & Literature Repository, Strategies & Guidelines, Data & Tools, and a Gamebook guiding users across these resources aimed to support early-stage investment decisions and strategic planning.
In this hands-on workshop, we will introduce the SAPHEA project, offer a live tour of the Digital Market Uptake Hub, and show a walk-through and practical application to local heating and cooling planning of the SAPHEA Tool. Attendees will see firsthand how these resources and tools can empower market actors (local authorities, community services, energy suppliers, and research and academia) to design and implement low-carbon geothermal development scenarios, ensuring lasting impact beyond the project's lifecycle.
