About project

SYNERGYS is a unique research and test location in Litoměřice, focused on geoenergy and other renewable sources. It was established in the area of research infrastructure Ringen in the former military barracks Jiří of Poděbrady. The aim of the SYNERGYS project is to contribute to solving the problems and challenges associated with the transformation of the region in energy, to reduce energy consumption and replace fossil sources by renewable ones for local heating. The project will create conditions for the development and application of new clean energy sources and their underground storage. The long-term aim of the project is to create a new geoenergic industry that will represent a new opportunity for experts from the mining and energy sector.

A total of 4 systems focus on various aspects of the emission-free solution of heat and electricity and their long-term storage will be built. Geothermal energy will be obtained using shallow and deep wells, at depths of approximately 100 to 3500 m. Shallow boreholes will be used mainly for storing thermal energy, produced in summer by solar panels on the roofs of the surrounding buildings, and to store waste heat from different technologies. Geothermal and solar systems will be supplemented by green hydrogen, produced by electrolysis. All these technologies will be connected in a functional technological “ecosystem” that will be energy self-sufficient. The heat produced by renewable sources can be used for remote heating in Litoměřice. The SYNERGYS project is implemented by Scientific and academic institutions and the city of Litoměřice, led by Charles University - Faculty of Science. It includes top scientific centers from abroad and a wide range of entities from both public and commercial spheres.
