The Eavor-Loop first of its kind commercial scale implementation of an innovative closed-loop geothermal technology

ongoing

The Eavor-Loop at Geretsried, Germany will provide clean, dispatchable and baseload energy for district heating and/or power generation. It consists of a large underground radiator buried at 4 500 metres. Operating under a natural thermosiphon requiring no pump and no aquifer, fresh water will circulate through the radiator carrying the heat to surface. With no greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions during operation, Eavor Loop will avoid almost 100% of the emissions compared to the reference scenario. Eavor Loop also is an environmentally benign solution, with no water treatment issues, fracking or earthquake risks: it can be installed virtually anywhere providing the EU with a scalable, secure source of renewable heat and power.
