Mine Water Heat Mapping
About
The intention of this project would be to deliver a regional and national map of the productivity of mine water aquifers for the purposes of use in district heating, district cooling and large thermal energy storage and the impacts on energy demand and wind curtailment.
The method of the project shall begin with the assessment of existing regional mapping to determine areas of high productivity and high likelihood of adoption for use, followed by the design of boreholes and monitoring strategies to enable deployment of a national monitoring effort to record data across Scotland.
The findings will be presented on a free-to-use database to enable both investors, developers and the coal authority to quantify their opportunities and to ease the adoption of mine water heat recovery / storage.
