Tapping hidden resources for Europe’s green future
Beneath Europe’s surface, geothermal brines contain more than just heat. They are packed with dissolved critical materials and energetic gases. However, using these resources in a sustainable way is still a challenge. Supported by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the MiningBrines project trains researchers to rethink how to recover these multiple resources while causing less harm to the environment. The programme combines geosciences, biogeochemistry, AI, and techno-economic, environmental and societal impact analysis. It helps researchers design environmentally friendly chemical and biologically based extraction methods, create advanced modelling tools and develop smart decision systems. By linking resource recovery with renewable energy production, MiningBrines aims to reduce Europe’s reliance on imports. It also prepares a skilled workforce to lead Europe’s green industrial future.
