A seismic marketing campaign has began as a part of the Geoscan undertaking which goals to characterize geothermal sources on the West and South Île-de-France areas.
A seismic knowledge acquisition marketing campaign is ongoing as a part of the Géoscan undertaking which goals to establish deep geothermal sources within the Île-de-France area of France. The seismic marketing campaign is predicted to final from 26 February to fifteen April 2024.
The Geoscan Île-de-France undertaking, a joint effort of the Ecological Transition Company (ADEME), the Île-de-France (IDF) area and the Nationwide Geological Service (BRGM), goals to establish the locations the place the potential of deep geothermal vitality is essentially the most favorable within the West and South of Île-de-France. The undertaking goals to handle the hole in subsurface knowledge within the West and South Île-de-France, though the Île-de-France as a complete already hosts the most important focus of deep geothermal installations in Europe.
To attain this goal, an built-in marketing campaign of geophysical, geological, and geochemical research to be led by the BRGM is deliberate for the subsequent a number of months. The research space covers practically 1900 sq. kilometers. The primary stage of the research, the geophysical acquisition marketing campaign, has already began. Vibrating vans producing acoustic waves will crisscross the territory between Auvernaux within the south, Jouars Pontchartrain within the west, and Montmorency within the north.
The deliberate routes for the vibro vans are proven under.
The brand new knowledge that will probably be collected from the present marketing campaign will probably be built-in with outdated knowledge, primarily from oil exploration within the 70s and 90s. This may make it attainable to current intermediate outcomes by the second half of 2024. The ultimate outcomes of the undertaking are anticipated by the second half of 2025 and will probably be essential in selling the event of deep geothermal on this area.
Geothermal improvement within the Île-de-France area at present already gives heating to greater than 310,000 housing equivalents, saving as much as 400,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions if fuel boilers had been used.
