“…In addition, there are increasing concerns related to the many demands to utilise the geological underground more intensely in the context of the energy transition (CCS, underground gas storage, geothermal energy, underground transmission lines etc.) calling for a structured underground spatial planning and coordination aimed at ensuring a sustainable use of underground space [51,52]. This, again, is likely to rather cost time than reduce time for realising grid expansion.…”

The rapid expansion of renewable energy sources (RES) in many European countries brings about transmission grid expansion requirements. While the transition towards RESbased energy systems is largely perceived positively in general, locally both RES and grid expansion are often confronted with a lack of public acceptance. Using Germany as a case study, we analyse public acceptance of energy infrastructure and its main drivers on local vs. national levels. For this purpose, we conducted a nationally representative survey. Our results show that, on a national level, the acceptance of RES is very high and there is also a high acceptance of grid expansion if it helps to increase the share of RES in the system. In terms of local acceptance problems that may arise for most considered technologies, concerns about landscape modification turn out to be the main driving factor. Moreover, the distance between places of residence and places of energy infrastructure construction is crucial. While acceptance or rejection of technologies will never be entirely tangible or explicable, we find the explicability of rejections to be lowest for new technologies. Finally, age and education turn out to be the most relevant socio-demographic variables determining the participants' acceptance. Bertsch, V., Hall, M., Weinhardt, C., & Fichtner, W. (2016).

“…For example, depleted natural gas and oil reservoirs, saline aquifers, and salt caves are suitable geological formations that can serve as reservoirs for natural gas storage. However, the physical impact of an activity, whether it concerns safety issues or the possible deterioration of the impermeability of the rock for gas storage, may hinder or exclude other competing uses [15].…”

With the rapid rate of population growth and economic development, cities face enormous challenges that require both optimal and integrated solutions to meet the needs of growth and to protect the environment and sustainable development. These urban dynamics, which change over time, extend not only horizontally and upward, but also downward. Thus, underground space has been utilized increasingly to relieve the urban surface and to ensure the exploitation of underground resources. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the possibilities of using this space in Casablanca as part of urban land-use planning and, consequently, to suggest an integrated model of exploitation of this space that is adapted to the specificities of the study area. Thus, an analysis of the use of underground spaces in a set of European cities has been performed. The study of the characteristics of this space in Casablanca has been realized according to the levels of geology and hydrogeology and two underground infrastructure projects. This work has led to the implementation of a prototype model named “Sub-Urban Information Modeling”. The model’s objective is to gather all the data and knowledge related to the relevant underground space in an integrated platform that can be shared and updated in order to facilitate the understanding of this environment and its interaction with the surface and to ensure the rational and efficient use of its resources.

“…3) -underground space, geomaterials, geothermal energy and groundwater, co-exploitation of resources can be promoted by setting land use planning rules adapted to the urban underground. This article will illustrate an underground space planning tool taking into account the preservation concerns for the groundwater resource (drinking water aquifers) beneath a city, in order to sustain the water resource during urban construction (Bartel and Janssen, 2015). The case study also proposes an integrated management process for the Deep City methodology and applies it to the Chinese city of Suzhou.…”
