Emissions free geothermal energy

A large radiator buried four kilometres under Geretsried, Germany is providing the town with emissions-free heating.

The EavorLoop operates using thermosiphon, a method of passive heat exchange based on natural convection. Fresh water circulates through the radiator, and heat is carried to the surface. As a result, it requires no pumps or aquifers. It’s also not limited to Geretsried. Capable of being installed virtually anywhere, EavorLoop will provide the EU with a scalable and secure source of renewable heat and power.
