In the wooded hills south of Munich, Eavor engineers are drilling 8 km to tap into the Earth's heat for sustainable energy. Unlike traditional geothermal systems, which depend on rare hot water reservoirs, Eavor's method only requires hot rocks and innovative thermodynamics. By drilling deep beneath the surface, their geothermal plant in Geretsried aims to provide clean heating, replacing natural gas for local residents and promoting Europe's transition away from fossil fuels. This model could pave the way for wider geothermal energy adoption, offering a sustainable energy source worldwide.
Traditional geothermal plants rely on rare underground reservoirs of superheated water, but Eavor’s system only requires hot rocks and clever thermodynamics.
By going deep enough, we can harvest heat from almost any location without the need for subterranean aquifers, akin to a radiator conducting heat.
