Mine water utilization as a secondary heat source and heat storage in a smart local heating and cooling distribution system

Mine water has been gaining increasing attention in recent years as a potential source for heat recovery and storage. This is due to its unique properties that make it an ideal medium for capturing and storing large amounts of thermal energy. Mine water is naturally heated by the earth's geothermal energy and typically has a constant temperature throughout the year, making it an excellent source of renewable energy. Additionally, the water's high thermal conductivity and large volumes provide an effective means for storing and transferring heat. With the increasing demand for sustainable energy sources and the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the utilization of mine water for heat recovery and storage has become an attractive option for many industries and communities. In this project, we will explore the benefits of using mine water for heat recovery and storage, as well as some of the risks and challenges that need to be overcome to fully realize its potential as a renewable energy source.
