Utilization of deep geothermal energy in urban areas
One of today’s greatest challenges is the energy transition from fossil fuels to low-carbon renewables. Geothermal energy is a local solution for base load heat and electricity supply. As such it has the potential to provide safe and clean energy for the growing urban areas worldwide.

- Innercity exploration, e.g. Berlin, Hamburg
- Characterisation of the reservoirs and their cap rocks
- Innercity drilling
- Special concept to access the reservoir (stimulation)
- Integration into energy supply systems
