Germany aims to amp up geothermal energy as a means to sever dependency on fossil fuels

A euronews news article encompasses Germany’s overarching goal to invest exponentially more in clean energy while simultaneously cutting off dependance on Russian natural gas. In the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Berlin is actively exploring strategies to reduce its reliance, one project being the repurposing of a disused airport and remaking it into a geothermal site. This increased push for geothermal production will also align with Germany’s objective to enhance energy independence and sustainability.

Singapore aiming to increase innovative technology to cool its city

A New York Times feature article titled How To Cool Down a City is emphasizing innovative urban planning in Singapore to combat rising temperatures. According to the article, there are some areas of the metropolis that are about six degrees hotter due to a high volume of buildings and a lack of greenery. Concrete and asphalt absorbs heat and releases it into the air at night, trapping heat within the densely populated areas. One particular Singaporean district, often dubbed “air conditioner alley,” is a stark example of how numerous independently made, uncoordinated choices can collectively lead to substantial heat increase. Here, hundreds of individual air conditioning units expel hot air from various residences and commercial establishments, all converging onto a narrow street.

BNN Bloomberg – Geothermal energy battles for its place in the sun

Andrew Bell of BNN Bloomberg’s Commodities interviewed Eavor CEO John Redfern to feature the groundbreaking strides Eavor has made in providing scalable technology. The conversation began with Bell’s statement that geothermal energy is “underfunded and marginalized.” This is despite the US government positing that geothermal energy could meet the world’s energy needs twice over. Redfern explained the nature of this discrepancy, and attributed geothermal’s low financial momentum to it’s previous lack of scalability.

CO2-free deep geothermal energy in Hanover: enercity and Eavor conclude heat supply agreement

A new milestone for the heat transition has been achieved in Hanover. Today, enercity and Eavor concluded the heat supply contract for the geothermal energy project in Hanover. Up to 30MW of renewable and baseload geothermal power will be available for the Hanover district heating network annually from 2026. Geothermal energy will therefore play a central role in Hanover’s climate-friendly heat supply in the future. Geothermal energy can be used to generate heat regardless of weather influences. The companies will use Eavor-Loop™ technology, which extracts heat by circulating a working fluid in a closed-loop through many kilometers of drilled pipes at a depth of approximately 3,000 metres.

Vox article highlights optimism about Eavor-Loop™ technology because it eliminates earthquake risk

Vox recently published a comprehensive feature article that provides detailed insights into the vitality and longevity of multiple geothermal technologies, including Eavor. According to the article, some engineers believe closed-loop systems have a major advantage because of its conduction-based technology. The article suggests that conventional systems could result in fluid loss within the granite rockbed during the circulation process, which could potentially induce seismic activity. The article further explains that tensions such as these have constrained the geothermal industry over the last two decades, resulting in a stagnation of federal funding for start-ups and operations in the United States. Consequently, this has led some current critics to be skeptical about geothermal’s readiness to be globally scaled.
