One year after the start of the project, we present the first results on the degradation of nitrate in groundwater with methane and hydrogen as an electron-supplying process. More information here. [read more]

The SAPHEA project team developed a Catalogue of scenarios in the framework of its WP 2 to identify existing basic and complex scenarios for the integration of shallow and deep geothermal energy into heating and cooling networks (HC networks) of different scales. These settings are complemented by… [read more]

In order to fully understand our present climate and to predict future climate evolution, a thorough understanding of the natural variability exhibited by past climates is required. An excellent proxy for this mystery is the noble gas paleothermometer. After shedding more light to the groundwater… [read more]
