Euractiv – ‘Closed-loop’ technology brings promise of geothermal anywhere
Euractiv recently featured Eavor’s closed-loop technology, the Eavor-Loop™, in an article detailing the promise it holds. In 2019, Eavor completed the prototype of a closed-loop geothermal power plant. This technology, a new generation of Advanced Geothermal Systems (AGS), connects two vertical wells with many horizontal wellbores, creating a closed buried-pipe system.

“In a world racing to adopt the use of renewable energy, getting there when the sun isn’t shining or the wind isn’t blowing poses a pretty big challenge. Finding a reliable and always-on renewable solution to supplement these other sources of clean energy is key…
Euractive – Industry: Geothermal energy requires European policy solutions
Euractiv recently featured an article with Sanjeev Kumar, the Head of Policy at the European Geothermal Energy Council, on the promise of geothermal in Europe, especially during the time of their energy crisis. Geothermal power is a reliable, renewable, and local energy source that offers baseload power generation.
Globe & Mail – From black gold to hot water: Inside Western Canada’s geothermal push
The Globe and Mail recently published an article featuring western Canada’s geothermal push, and the clean energy projects already underway.
Sara Hastings-Simon, an assistant professor at the University of Calgary says that geothermal was left behind when the first round of renewable energies was developed. It was further from commercialization than wind or solar, and less competitive. She says it’s worthwhile to start building the geothermal resource as the focus on decarbonizing Canada’s power grid grows.
The Energy Transition And The Quest For The Mythical Beast Of Perfection
he New York Times recently published an article featuring Eavor Technologies Inc. and their closed-loop geothermal technology. They refer to the concept as die eierlegende wollmilchsau, a German phrase meaning the egg-laying wool-milk pig. This mythical creature is said to meet all human needs for food, drink, and fiber simultaneously. Closed-loop geothermal is the energy world’s egg-laying wool-milk pig with its ability to be flexible, reliable, renewable, affordable, and dispatchable.
Politico – The Goldilocks effect: the quest for the perfect energy source
The Goldilocks effect: the quest for the perfect energy source. “Mmm… This bowl replaces high-carbon non-renewable fossil fuel supplies with a clean, locally sourced, globally available, low-cost, socially acceptable, grid-stabilizing, zero-emission, load-following, resilient/reliable energy source… It’s juuust right…”
Eavor’s Mysterious Mural In Brussels
A mysterious mural showed up on Brussels over the last few weeks.
We wanted to share the journey with you.
UT Austin – Managed pressure control of deep closed-loop well construction and operation
To allow drilling and exploitation of deep CLGS wells, an integrated managed pressure operation (MPO) concept is presented.
Multilateral Closed-Loop Geothermal Systems as a Zero Emission Load-Following Resource
The Eavor-Loop™, a multilateral closed loop geothermal system (MCLGS), is introduced as a zero-emission load-following resource (ZELFR) that is globally scalable and can provide baseload or dispatchable electricity…
Eavor-Lite Performance Update and Extrapolation to Commercial Projects
Eavor-Lite™ is a full-scale demonstration project of a multilateral closed-loop geothermal system. An update is presented based on ~16 months of operations and testing. The project is located near Sylvan Lake, Alberta, Canada and consists of two 1.7 km long multilateral horizontal wellbores connecting two 2.4 km deep vertical wellbores to create a U-tube shaped closed-loop geothermal system.
Eavor is Excited to Welcome Dr. Jesse Jenkins to the Advisory Board
Eavor would like to welcome Jesse Jenkins as the newest member of its Advisory Board! Mr. Jenkins is a macro-scale energy systems engineer with a focus on the rapidly evolving electricity sector, including the transition to zero-carbon resources, the proliferation of distributed energy resources, and the role of electricity in economy-wide decarbonization. We are looking forward to working with such a distinguished individual.
