The REGENERATE project explores the potential of urban underground spaces in cities like Bregenz, Darmstadt, Turin, and Cluj-Napoca to host renewable energy production and storage systems. By assessing the feasibility of retrofitting these underground spaces, the project aims to integrate innovative thermal energy sources into future municipal heating networks, enhancing energy security and grid stability. It will combine technical and social innovations by evaluating the creation of new local heating networks from a user perspective. One expected result is the quantification of the potential benefits through pilot site monitoring and numerical modelling.
