Eavor has recently joined the DHC+ Platform, advancing Next-Generation Geothermal energy within Europe’s district heating and cooling market.
The DHC+ Platform, headquartered in Brussels, serves as Europe’s hub for research and innovation in district heating and cooling. It brings together over 60 stakeholders from academia, research, business, and industry to promote sustainable energy systems. As a leader in innovative geothermal technology, Eavor’s membership holds potential to contribute to the integration of cutting-edge clean energy technology for the continent, fostering local energy autonomy across multiple European countries.
In Geretsried, Germany, Eavor is constructing its first commercial power plant, which will generate direct heat and electricity. To prepare for the distribution of energy to Geretsried’s district heating grid, Eavor GmbH has signed a heat supply contract with the municipal utility company Stadtwerke Geretsried, marking a crucial step toward utilizing geothermal energy in the region.
Eavor’s involvement in these initiatives underscores the growing importance of geothermal energy in the transition to sustainable and climate-friendly energy systems. As changing global temperatures generate a greater demand for clean power, Eavor’s technology is well-positioned to provide those needs. Since geothermal energy can be used to heat and cool businesses and homes, it can act as a viable tool in decarbonizing district heating and cooling systems in Europe and beyond.
