This paper reviews the current research on aquifer thermal energy storage (ATES) and mine thermal energy storage (MTES) in Germany providing descriptions of 3 low-temperature ATES (LT-ATES), 8 high-temperature ATES (HT-ATES), and 2 MTES research sites. While the overview reveals a diverse field of investigations spanning various spatial scales, research objectives, and methodologies, the predominant focus is limited to early-stage research with low technology readiness levels (TRL).
