Within the Marie Skłodowska-Curie project MiningBrines, we use our skillset to help develop a sustainable brine mining whole strategy that extracts and valorizes renewable energy, energetic gases, and critical raw materials from geothermal brines across European geothermal wells. The MiningBrines project funded by the EU Horizon program aims to develop a strategy to extract CRM and other materials from geothermal brines while at the same time continuing to supply renewable energy. Your goal as one of 19 international PhD candidates within the project is to evaluate the economic viability of geothermal plants that produce power, heat, and critical materials by comparing them to other energy sources and extraction methods, while considering future demand, price trends, and incorporating data on resource productivity, innovative extraction methods, and social acceptance.
