2 Days to the FINAL deadline! Those who wants to join us but haven't yet submitted their abstracts, please take this final chance! #geothermal #egpd2024 #egpd #energytransition #electricity #heatingandcooling #thermalstorage #earth #geology #geochemistry #geophysics

Last Day! We still have room for more participants! Submit an abstract and share your researches with other early-stage researchers and industry partners in the beautiful Delft with Spring being here! #geothermal #egpd2024 #energytransition #electricity #energy #water #geology

✨ Exciting News! ✨ 73 abstract submissions to EGPD2024_Delft ! The conference will be held from the 3rd - 5th April in Delft. The main venue is the X-Building, located on the campus. Here is the preliminary schdule, please plan your trip accordingly. #geothermal #egpd2024

EGPD2024_Delft Spotlight on keynote: Anne Pluymakers! Dr. Anne Pluymakers is Assistant Prof. in Experimental Fluid-Rock-Interaction at TU Delft. After a PhD (2015) at Utrecht Uni., she spent 3 years at Physics of Geological Processes at Oslo Uni., Norway. #womeninscience

In 2018, Dr. Anne Pluymakers joined the rock mechanical group at TU Delft with an independent (VENI) grant from the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO) to study fluid-rock interactions in carbonate rocks, and was promoted to assistant professor in 2020.

She is fascinated by rock and fault mechanics and how this is affected by fluids. Given that geothermal energy is related to the extraction and re-injection of (potentially chemically altered) fluids, there is a clear link between her research and the geothermal industry.

Spotlight on keynote: Martin Bloemendal "The subsurface plays a crucial and growing part in sustainably cooling/heating buildings. My vision is that the enormous potential of this source of renewable energy must be put to its maximum use and available for future generations."

Spotlight on keynote: Alexander van Noort "I put all energy on striding towards a balanced energy system. I like and understand planet earth. Geo-energy with their unlimited potential and interaction with the subsurface is the solution that I can make the biggest contribution."

Spotlight on keynote: Susanne Laumann "Since 2020, I have been closely involved in the preparation of all research activities linked to the geothermal well on the TU Delft campus and, since 2021, the coordination of European geothermal energy initiatives within EERA." #egpd2024

"My personal highlight was the implementation of the geothermal doublet on the TU campus. The fact that it finally happened after so many years of preparation and work was so important for many of us" #womeninscience #energytransition #geothermal

Spotlight on keynote: Martijn Klaver Martijn is a geologist (PhD at the VU Amsterdam, 2016) with extensive international post-doc experience prior to becoming a policy officer at the NWO (Dutch Research Council). #geothermal #egpd2024 #EnergyTransition

Martijn will talk about how NWO can support early career researchers, and how NWO programmes play a role in research related to the energy transition in the Netherlands.

🎇EGPD2024 is around the corner!!!🎇 Welcome to Delft! Delft, one of the oldest cities (since 1246) in the NL, is renowned for its beautifully preserved medieval architecture (Niewuwe Kerk & City Hall), scenic canals, iconic Delft Blue pottery, and its innovative spirit.

With the opening talk by Prof. Dr. Phil Vardon, EGPD2024 officially starts ! Question from Prof. Phil: How many times have you participated in EGPD? Now Dr. Martin Bloemendal is giving an inspiring talk "43 reasons why working on Aquifer Thermal Energy Storage is awesome!"

Inspiring and informative keynote talks by Susanne Laumann, Martijn Klaver and Niels Hartog started today's EGPD2024_Delft, followed by presentations and pitches presented by the young generation of geothermal people with engaged discussions!

Another glimpse of the discussions~~ #geothermal #egpd2024 #EnergyTransition
