Description

The purpose of this contract is to carry out a feasibility study in the Mons basin with a view to launching a pilot project in mining geothermal energy. Thus, two steps are necessary, namely:1. the precise determination of the location and spatial dimensions of the site2. the determination and characterization of the surface and subsoil components of the project.The first step will make it possible to better define the location and spatial dimensions of the site that will host the pilot, the type of use targeted, the conditions of implementation of the project, the technical and practical aspects, the current uses on the surface and the associated constraints (facilities for passing the heat network, manoeuvring area for drilling rigs, etc.). At the end of this stage, the outline of the project and the associated site will be determined. The second step will allow for a detailed analysis of the characteristics of the surface and subsoil components of the selected pilot site as well as its dimensioning and to determine the various development possibilities for it.
Step 1: Selection and preliminary definition of the pilot projectThis first step will allow to better define the location and spatial dimensions of the site that will host the pilot, the type of use targeted, the conditions of implementation of the project, the technical and practical aspects, the current uses on the surface and the associated constraints (facilities for passing the heat network, manoeuvring area for drilling rigs...). Contacts and discussions will have to be engaged with local actors (political powers, former miners of the region, etc.) and project leaders in order to pre-select 3 projects corresponding to the most favourable sites for the implementation of a pilot. The three proposed projects will then be prioritized and the outline of the pilot project will be determined. The next step will focus on identifying and characterizing the various components of the pilot project in more detail.Step 2: Identification and characterization of the surface and subsurface components of the pilot siteThis step will allow for a detailed analysis of the characteristics of the surface and subsurface components of the selected pilot site, and will identify the various development options available for the site.The collection of subsurface data will allow the local geology to be defined and the thermal resource associated with the former mines present under or near the site to be assessed, and to synthesise the available detailed mining data and information on any overlying hydrogeological covers and reservoirs.The collection of surface data will define the infrastructure and surface uses, the detailed demand profiles, the inventory of potential future consumers and will identify their production/consumption profiles of heat and cold and the energy needs to be satisfied by the investment and the effective consumption before investment. The search for and identification of other existing or potential low-energy renewable energy contributors in the vicinity of the pilot site is to be favoured. A first identification of reference scenarios describing desirable characteristic configurations of the system should be highlighted taking into account: the selection of the most interesting future consumers on the site or in the vicinity; the location and characteristics of the wells; the typology and geometry of the latest generation heating network; the other renewable contributors and the integration of underground and surface thermal storage In the analysis, the renovation strategy of the buildings and thus the future evolution of the consumptions must be taken into account as well as the evaluation of the savings in primary energy and CO2.The various models, for each of the reference scenarios and the individual components of the system, will make it possible to define: the needs and behaviour of the consumers; the mining reservoirs used (geometry, hydraulic and thermal characteristics); the wells, pumps and heat networks set up (geometry, hydraulic and thermal characteristics, regulation); the structure of the implementation costs; the structure of the operating costs and the structure of the distribution tariffs. The notion of energy pool structure as well as the integration of possible sources of waste heat available in the vicinity of the pilot site will have to be analysed.A pre-sizing of the system components is thus defined with the quantification of the model parameters for each of the reference scenariosAt the end of this stage, the definition of the pilot project's outlines and the different components of the system will be identified and modelled. Deliverables All deliverables must be validated by the monitoring committee. The documents are expected in written and electronic form for each mission requested: - A methodological note including the working hypotheses;- The sources collected;- All the raw data used;- The files and intermediate reports including the results of the mission and the raw data used;- The computer files and calculation tools will be in spreadsheet format, Excel type and shapesfiles in the case of GIS mapping. The files are delivered in editable format with unprotected access to all the cells;- The files and reports containing the results and data (simulations and results);- The minutes of the various meetings;- The intermediate and final reports - In accordance with the Decree of 22 December 2010 on the Walloon Geographic Information Infrastructure, the map layers produced must be available from the InfraSIG infrastructure and accessible in electronic format through the Walloon Geoportal (WalOnMap, viewing and downloading services). These geographical data must be the subject of ad-hoc documentation (metadata) in accordance with the procedures laid down by the Geomatics Department of the SPW in order to guarantee compliance with the obligations, in particular with regard to metadata, formats and dissemination protocols (Cfr. SPW cartographic charter). The Walloon Region is the exclusive owner of the rights linked to the data and results (content of the reports, cartography and publications, for which it will receive the ad-hoc files on a computer medium compatible with the standards of the SPW)The contractor undertakes to keep confidential the information and data that will be transmitted to him by the companies and the accompanying committees. The contractor may be authorised to exploit the results of the study on simple request to the Administration and subject to the confidentiality of the data.
