Karlsruhe Institut für Technologie

The project team at KIT coordinates the GeoLaB project and contributes to geothermal research in GeoLaB with its knowledge from various specialist disciplines.

Deutsches GeoForschungsZentrum

The GFZ specialises in research into the solid Earth. GFZ scientists contribute their knowledge of geosciences and drilling technology to GeoLaB.

Helmholtz-Zentrum für Umweltforschung

The UFZ is developing the ‘Virtual GeoLaB’, a so-called digital twin of the real research laboratory in the virtual world.

Technische Universität Darmstadt

TU Darmstadt contributes regional geoscientific knowledge to the Tromm region. The scientists involved are mainly concerned with the occurrence, movement and quality of groundwater.

Bundesgesellschaft für Endlagerung

In the GeoLaB project, the Federal Company for Radioactive Waste Disposal (BGE) wants to learn what challenges need to be overcome in the construction of underground facilities and how modern technical solutions can help.

The BGE's involvement in GeoLaB ends with the commissioning of the research laboratory. No repository will be built at the actual GeoLaB site. The legally regulated selection process for a disposal site will proceed independently of the BGE's basic research with GeoLaB.
