Seasonal high-temperature storage deep underground
Nachhaltige Technologien, Issue 02 | 2026, Page 16-18

In Austria, a significant portion of heat demand occurs during the winter months, while in the summer, there is often an excess of renewable or industrial heat. Seasonal heat storage can bridge this temporal discrepancy and play a central role in achieving a climate-neutral heat supply.

Innovative evaluation of seismic data to optimize modeling in deep geothermal energy

Deep geothermal energy is a central component of the energy transition and a key to the long-term decarbonization of the energy system. High-resolution digital 3D models of the geological subsurface are required to develop geothermal resources efficiently and with low risk.

Geoenergy in the Styrian Basin
Geological Society, London, Special Publication, 555

The Styrian Basin (SB) is the westernmost basin within the Pannonian Basin Complex and is located in SE Austria, where the crustal thickness decreases from more than 40 km to less than 30 km. It can be divided into the West and East Styrian Basin. The pre-Neogene basement includes Penninic and crystalline rocks overlain by Paleozoic rocks.

GeoScan
Digitization of Geophysical Data

Archives around the world contain large amounts of seismic reflection data that are largely inaccessible for geoscientific research. GeoScan is a software solution from Geo5 for digitizing geophysical data. The previously scanned data from the archives is converted into the open, digital industry format SEG-Y.
