- This study presents the main strategic risks and challenges to be faced during the prospective transition from the existing fossil fuel-based energy system to an integrated „Enhanced Geothermal Systems” -concept, which includes deep, medium, and shallow geothermal energy, for district heating and cooling of the Göttingen university campus (demo site of the EU-HORIZON2020-project MEET). Such an innovative integrated concept aims for lowering the financial risks and maximizing decarbonisation effects. The geological and technical preconditions of the demo site are analyzed, and a basic conceptual scheme is suggested. To overcome the challenges of the implementation of such a complex system, an intensive cooperation between all stakeholders, coherent planning and financing, and a modular, step-by-step approach is a prerequisite.
