Years ago a group of TU Delft students got the idea of realising a geothermal well at the university campus. What at first seemed like a wild plan was set into motion when it became clear the campus grounds were in fact an ideal location. Now, for theme leader Phil Vardon things are almost about to get real. After years of measuring, liaising and researching, the drilling started in June 2023. Vardon: “This geothermal source on our campus will become one of the world’s biggest hotspots for research into geothermal energy.” 👉 Read the full story here: https://edu.nl/4jeek #klimaatweek #research #science #technology #innovation #sustainability

Our aim is a sustainable future in which the earth's internal heat provides clean and reliable energy.
Over ons
We are Foundation DAP, our target is a sustainable future in which the earth's internal heat provides clean and reliable energy. In 2007 DAP was founded on the basis of a good discussion on the feasibility of an on-campus geothermal well at the TU Delft. Now, 15 years later this dream is becoming a reality.

Very happy that the first sediment cores of the deep subsurface at TU Delft campus are at surface now! Thanks to a lot of work by many as Leendert-Jan Ursem, Bas van Schravendijk, & Annelies Bender of Aardyn B.V., Marcel Taal of IOT Group and Phil Vardon, Susanne Laumann, Andrea Vondrak, Beer van Esser, Kaylee Elliott, Piet van Paassen, Auke Barnhoorn and many others at TU Delft Department of Geoscience and Engineering, and thanks to the funding by EPOS-NL and TU Delft. These cores are from the lowermost portions of the Rodenrijs claystone, directly overlying the Delft Sandstone reservoir section in the West Netherlands Basin. Initial inspection shows the sediments are organic-rich silts and clays deposited on wet river floodplains. In the coming weeks, we will attempt to core as much as possible of the reservoir sandstone interval, fingers crossed!
