There’s real progress happening in this space, with a number of companies advancing different technologies to help geothermal scale. It’s encouraging to see the sector getting the attention it deserves. As our […]

Enhanced seismicity monitoring in central Alberta, Canada: 2020–2022

Geothermal energy has emerged in recent years as a potential alternative green technology to address an ever-increasing demand by the world for energy. This study focuses on a geothermal prototype system in Alberta, Canada whereby fluid circulating in the system never enters the surrounding rock, and instead acts in a similar manner to a radiator, using conduction to heat the fluid returning to the surface. We installed a local monitoring array within 10 km of the geothermal operations to monitor for any potential microseismicity over a 2-year period. Using a machine learning data analysis approach, we identified 94 seismic events within a350 km radius of the geothermal operations, with magnitudes ranging from ML 0.94 to ML 4.09. Events detected included natural and induced events (e.g. from quarry blasting). However, no seismicity was detected within 30 km of the operations. The fact that small magnitude events were detected by the monitoring equipment, but not in the vicinity of the operations, gives us confidence that no events ML > 1 were likely induced by the geothermal activities during the 2-year monitoring period.

Eavor to showcase closed-loop geothermal at Hannover Messe 2025

Eavor will be exhibiting at this year’s Hanover Messe (Hanover Fair), one of the world’s largest and most influential industrial trade fairs, from March 31 to April 4, in Germany. Attendees are invited to visit Eavor’s team in Hall 013 at Booth G65.

Eavor showcasing innovation at GeoTHERM 2025

Eavor’s booth at GeoTHERM 2025, Europe’s largest geothermal trade fair, has seen great success. Attendance at this expo allowed Eavor to showcase the company’s innovations, engage in meaningful discussions with the public, and educate on the potential of closed-loop geothermal.

Eavor’s Milestone in Geretsried Becomes ThinkGeoEnergy’s Most-Read Story of 2024

Eavor’s first commercial project in Geretsried, Germany, has captured significant attention, earning the distinction of ThinkGeoEnergy’s most-read story of 2024. By March 2024, Eavor had drilled a total measured depth of 7,000 meters, with further advancements bringing that figure to 8,000 meters by year-end. With accumulated progress over the last year, Eavor remains on track to generate geothermal power from the site in 2025.
