Eavor GmbH lately introduced a partnership with SWU Stadtwerke Ulm/Neu-Ulm GmbH, a municipal utility firm that provides the area with electrical energy, gasoline, water, warmth, to discover implementing Eavor-Loop™ expertise within the area and pave the way in which for Neu-Ulm and Senden to attain native power autonomy.
This collaboration aligns with Neu-Ulm’s formidable aim to decarbonize by 2040, a dedication emphasised by Mayor Katrin Albsteiger, who urges rapid motion to attain it.
“With the plan to remodel warmth distribution, we will show our dedication to include modern and protected power applied sciences. This mission strengthens our place as a pioneer within the regional power transition and contributes to our efforts in establishing a sustainable power provide for our metropolis,” Albsteiger said.
Daniel Mölk, the managing director of Eavor GmbH, expressed pleasure for the collaborative alternative.
“It’s due to the foresight and pioneering spirit of SWU that the implementation of a deep geothermal power mission within the area’s bedrock, utilizing Eavor’s expertise, will likely be attainable for the primary time. As soon as all preliminary investigations are accomplished, we’ll deploy our refined closed-loop expertise,” Mölk defined.
The preliminary part includes a complete exploration into the geological and technical feasibility of integrating geothermal power into the Neu-Ulm and Senden areas. Launched in January 2024, this investigative stage is slated to span three years, abstaining from drilling actions in favor of floor measurement methodologies. Environmental assessments and geological surveys will likely be performed, using a 2D seismic marketing campaign slated for later in 2024. The overarching goal is to evaluate the viability of harnessing geothermal sources inside the Neu-Ulm and Senden areas.
The partnership between Eavor and SWU holds promise for advancing sustainable power options and supporting Neu-Ulm and Senden in reaching native power autonomy by way of the utilization of a clear and renewable power supply. Furthermore, this collaboration may contribute to a extra resilient and sustainable power future for the communities concerned.
