Traditionally, most of the existing shallow geothermal systems are installed in the sedimentary Mesozoic-Cenozoic cover, however, the depth of the Palaeozoic bedrock in this region (from 0 to 200 m) is adequate for the installation of both open- and closed-loop geothermal systems (Lagrou et al., 2019). Ongoing exploration drillings in Brussels demonstrated the high potential and efficiency of the Cambrian core of the Brabant Massif for geothermal systems. This high potential led to more feasibility studies for the exploitation of the Cambrian basement during the past years and more extensive research is currently conducted in the GeoCamb project with as aim to enhance the geothermal sector development and incorporate it in public buildings. Geological, hydrogeological and geophysical explorations are ongoing in public case-studies and several win-win cases. In this study we report on a multidisciplinary approach including many analyses conducted on lithology, mineralogy, and geophysical and thermal characteristics of the Cambrian basement and its weathered top. 000005878 536__ $$aB2/$$c191/$$fP1/GEOCAMB 000005878 594__ $$aNO 000005878 6531_ $$aGeothermal 000005878 6531_ $$aBrabant Massif 000005878 700__ $$aVan Noten, Koen 000005878 700__ $$aZeckra, Martin 000005878 700__ $$aVan Breusegem, Maximilien 000005878 700__ $$aVan Lysebetten, Gust 000005878 700__ $$aVan der Veken, Jeroen 000005878 700__ $$aWalraevens, Kristine 000005878 700__ $$aVan Camp, Marc 000005878 700__ $$aPetitclerc, Estelle 000005878 773__ $$tEuropean Geothermal Congress 2022 Berlin, Germany 000005878 8560_ $$fkoen.vannoten@observatoire.be 000005878 85642 $$ahttps://www.conftool.org/egc2022/index.php?page=browseSessions&presentations=hide&search=baudinet 000005878 8564_ $$s986533$$uhttp://publi2-as.oma.be/record/5878/files/2022_Baudinet_EGC_GeoCamb.pdf 000005878 8564_ $$s4605$$uhttp://publi2-as.oma.be/record/5878/files/2022_Baudinet_EGC_GeoCamb.gif?subformat=icon$$xicon 000005878 8564_ $$s5193$$uhttp://publi2-as.oma.be/record/5878/files/2022_Baudinet_EGC_GeoCamb.jpg?subformat=icon-180$$xicon-180 000005878 906__ $$aContributed 000005878 980__ $$aCTALKCONT
