Program
Main topic: Inform and discuss about solving barriers for ATES application
Session goal: inform audience about current barriers for ATES application, ongoing research, learn from research/projects/problems of audience. discuss about approach and implications of results,
Description: In Climate KIC E-use (aq), groundreach and geo.power projects several barriers were identified for ATES development in different European countries. Distinction was made between Immature and mature market problems and general barriers. From different programs / institutes / companies research is going-on to solve the identified barriers. We want to start with a short pitch about the barriers found and continue with pitches about research and pilot projects addressing these barriers. Followed by a general discussion about which barriers are most important, which research is needed to resolve these barriers, and if not already lined-up, how can we address the questions at hand?
