With the geophysical marketing campaign for the GeoCogen Eclépens venture accomplished, Swiss GeoEnergy will course of the information for a 3D geological mannequin of the examine space.
Swiss Geo Vitality (SGE) has introduced the profitable completion of the geophysical marketing campaign for the venture GeoCogen Eclépens, which concluded on October 6. These area operations mobilised important assets and technical experience to collect important knowledge for the venture’s success geared toward producing electrical energy and geothermal warmth.
Just a few months in the past, we had reported on the beginning of the geophysical marketing campaign which goals to gather knowledge for the development of a 3D geological mannequin of the location of the GeoCogen Eclépens venture. This mannequin will outline the trajectory of the longer term exploration properly, the execution of which can be topic to a subsurface analysis allow software.
The geophysical marketing campaign lined 104 sq. kilometers and 32 municipalities within the districts of Jura-Nord, Morges, and Gros-de-Vaud. 21,000 geophones had been deployed for the marketing campaign, recording round 100 TB value of information. The corresponding 3D mannequin has a quantity of 500 sq. kilometers, or about 5 occasions the amount of the Lake Geneva.
“We’re extraordinarily happy with the progress of this geophysical marketing campaign and the preliminary outcomes. The following step, which is able to take roughly a 12 months, can be to research this collected knowledge to create an in depth three-dimensional map of the geology of the world. This can assist us affirm the geothermal potential of the area,” stated Eric Léoutre, Operations Director of Swiss Geo Vitality.
GeoCogen Eclépens is a visionary deep geothermal venture supported by the Federal Workplace of Vitality (OFEN). It goals to supply renewable warmth and electrical energy by 2030 collectively. Swiss Geo Vitality’s actions absolutely align with the targets of the federal vitality technique and people of the local weather and innovation legislation adopted by the individuals on June 18, particularly, to contribute to the event of renewable energies and obtain carbon neutrality.
“We want to thank the canton of Vaud, the Federal Vitality Workplace in addition to the municipalities, native authorities, agricultural homeowners and residents for his or her cooperation and understanding all through this geophysical marketing campaign,” additional added Léoutre.
