IMPACT: Investigating Mine Potential for Cooling and Thermal storage

We will explore the technical possibilities and challenges of cooling and thermal energy storage in mine workings by discharging warm water into mine workings at the BGS UKGOES site in Glasgow. Thermal storage in mine workings is part of our Business Plan 2032 vision and Mine Water Heat Framework and is vital to understand if we want to unlock mine water heat advisory services and deliver value to coalfield communities. Thermal energy storage will be a vital technology in decarbonising heat and making net zero a re...
