Below are a number of relevant examples of publications describing the coverage of the work done in recent years in areas related to the utilization of geothermal energy.
Latest Publications
Geothermal pilot hole, phase 1b:
Scientific final report of the project “Geothermal pilot well, phase 1b”. The report is the result of work under Working Package 2 (WP2) and is financially supported by EUDP (Energy Technology Development and Demonstration Program) under the Danish Energy Agency. The main purpose of this report is to provide the best basis for a prediction of relevant reservoir parameters (depth, thickness, transmission capacity, production capacity, etc.) for the Upper Trias to Lower Jurassic Gassum Formation, as well as the overlying Lower Jurassic Karlebo unit in northern Copenhagen. The results obtained will form the geological basis for a decision on the location of an exploration well which will be drilled later.

GeoPower InterReg project:
Geopower is an Interreg 4A project in the Syddanmark-Schleswig region. It aims to promote the exploitation of geothermal energy in the Region of Southern Jutland-Schleswig. The results of the project have been developed to understand the geological structure of the subsurface across the border between southern Jutland and Schleswig
