Abstract
Aquifer Thermal Energy Storage (ATES) is an innovative building technology that can be used to store thermal energy in natural subsurface formations [1, 4, 10]. In combination with a heat pump, ATES can reduce the energy demand of larger buildings by more than half, which has made the technology increasingly popular in northern Europe (see Figure 1). Furthermore, the climate and subsurface conditions required for ATES use can be found in areas across Europe, Asia and North America. By the middle of the century, roughly half of the world’s urban population is therefore expected to live in areas technically suitable for ATES [2].
