Heating and cooling both make up a large part of the total energy demand in the UK; long-
term seasonal thermal energy storage (STES) can address temporal imbalances between …

As the decarbonisation of heating and cooling becomes a matter of critical importance, it has
been shown that flooded mines can provide a reliable source of low-carbon thermal energy …

Mine water geothermal energy could provide sustainable heating, cooling and storage to
assist in the decarbonisation of heat and achieving Net Zero carbon emissions. However …

Seasonal storage and extraction of heat in legacy coal mines could help decarbonize the
space heating sector of many localities. The modelled evolution of a conceptual mine-water …

Prospective and operational mine water geothermal projects worldwide have faced
challenges created by mine water chemistry (eg, iron scaling, corrosion) and high …

The Lower Silesian Coal Basin in south-western Poland was a region of intensive coal
mining until the late 1990s. After mining was stopped and the mines were closed, the …

Decarbonisation of heating represents a major challenge in efforts to reach Net Zero carbon
emissions, especially for countries that rely heavily on the combustion of carbon-based fossil …

Engineering geology has an important role to play in sustainable development. This is due
to the unique perspective that engineering geologists have of the interfaces between …

Scotland's Earth resources, which include minerals, hydrocarbons, water and hydro energy,
have for many centuries provided a driver for population and economic growth. The nature …

Stable isotopic compositions of δ 18 O, δ 2 H and dissolved sulfate δ 34 S in water from
abandoned and flooded coal mines are used to interpret the water's and solutes' origin and …
