Ground (or geothermal) heat exchangers are attracting a great deal of attention as a way of
using shallow geothermal energy. This paper provides not only a critical review but also a …

The advancement of technology and renewable energy systems (RES) have evolved
considerably through the years. Geothermal energy was first introduced in Italy in 1904 and …

At present, geothermal energy is a promising research area but with a series of unknowns
waited to be explored. Recently, the U-shaped closed loop geothermal extraction system …

Energy geostructures are novel dual use engineering sub-structures that can be used for
heat transfer and storage as well as original structural function. Their use is becoming …

This position paper was developed by members of the task force on “Energy Geostructures”
of the International Society of Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE) …

The integration of technologies has made it possible to develop optimal operating conditions
at reduced costs, which results in a more sustainable energy transition away from fossil fuels …

Heat conduction in multi-layer and composite materials is one of the fundamental heat
