GeoSolar - A sustainable second life for coal mines that benefits local communities

Описание: When a coal mine is closed and coal extraction has come to an end, it can still be of use to the local community. Researchers from the Netherlands, Poland and Slovenia are investigating how two mines, which will be closed down in a few years‘ time, can be given a second life as storage facilities and suppliers of heat. This research project, called GeoSolar, is funded by the EU Research Fund for Coal and Steel.
