Job Description

The Dutch industry has traditionally relied on natural and residual gases. To make the industry more sustainable and reduce CO2 emissions in line with the objectives of the Climate Agreement, significant steps are needed. One of the four steps in our national plan is to move to renewable energy resources.

In contrast to wind and solar, geothermal energy can provide our baseload energy consumption. Depending on the temperature of the water that is extracted from the subsurface, it can either be used for direct heating purposes or electricity generation. In the Netherlands, the water temperatures are below 100??C, making it a suitable resource for heating of neighborhoods, greenhouses or for district heating networks.

The Dutch subsurface is relatively well-discovered because of its extensive oil and gas history. The availability of data makes it easier to identify locations with potential for geothermal energy. In addition, the SCAN project is executed to map the Dutch subsurface through seismic exploration, with the aim to reduce subsurface unknowns and thereby reduce the geothermal exploration risk. The problem

The Netherlands is one of the most densely populated countries in the world as well as the world's second largest exporting country of agricultural goods. At the same time the country is facing an increasing number of severe droughts that threaten the groundwater levels. The Netherlands' high population density and reliance on heavy industries and agriculture demand significant quantities of drinking water and the associated underground infrastructure.
