Toward Net-Zero Targets: Waste Heat and Geothermal for Interseasonal Heat Storage and Heat Recovery in District Heating
This research investigates how waste heat and mine water can be combined to enhance district heating and cooling, supporting the United Kingdom’s net-zero emissions goals. Readers will find out more about the following:
- Minewater heat recovery offers a scalable, low-carbon pathway for district heating and cooling, supporting the UK Net Zero target.
- Coupling minewater systems with industrial waste heat enables subsurface heat replenishment and seasonal thermal storage, improving long-term efficiency.
- Numerical modelling shows that abstraction–recharge balance and subsurface complexity strongly control thermal performance; quantifying these uncertainties reduces deployment risk and supports investment decisions.
