Engie is collaborating with academic organisations , including the University of Utrecht and the University Medical Center Utrecht , to research the potential use of ultra - deep geothermal energy as a source of sustainable energy in the region . The consortium - led project will see Energie Beheer to assess the viability of geothermal energy extraction in a specific area . The GUD collaboration will determine whether it is safe , affordable and responsible to generate energy in this way , including Rob Mathlener , project director at GUD .
Engie is collaborating with academic organisations, including the University of Utrecht and the University Medical Center Utrecht, to research the potential use of ultra-deep geothermal energy as a source of sustainable energy in the Netherlands. The government-led project will see Energie Beheer Nederland assess the viability of geothermal energy extraction in a specific area. The GUD collaboration will determine whether it is safe, affordable and responsible to generate energy in this way, said Rob Mathlener, project director at GUD.
