German Town's Geothermal Gamble: Deep-Rock Energy for a Cleaner Future

Geretsried, Germany, once abandoned its hopes for geothermal energy after traditional methods failed. Now, Eavor is pioneering a new approach, building its first commercial power plant in the town. Their technology taps into deep, dry hot rock, drilling kilometers deep to create closed loops that heat water for electricity generation and district heating for around 36,000 homes. This innovative solution addresses Germany's energy transition challenges and holds global potential for a cleaner, more secure energy future, combating climate change.
