Geothermal Company- Eavor-Aiming for clean energy independence in every town and country. National Observer Patricia LaneJohn RedfernNovember 25th 2024 Tell us about Eavor.....We use next-generation geothermal technology to create clean, reliable, affordable energy that can be scaled globally. We do not contaminate aquifers, use fracking, use excessive amounts of water, pollute water or increase earthquake risk. Our land footprint is insignificant and power production is entirely reliable, which are advantages over solar and wind. We use no pumps, so energy generation is highly efficient. We can work well where there is water scarcity without depriving the people in the area of the water they need for life.
We drill a well far below the earth’s surface and then, send out lateral wells from it to form a hermetically-sealed, closed-loop radiator. Hot water rises to ground level where we generate other forms of energy like electricity from it. Once cooled, the water naturally flows back into the inlet to be heated again. We know exactly how much power is going to be produced for at least the 30 years we have modelled and with a confident prediction for 100 years or more. Our name comes from the word “endeavour” without the first syllable “end.” Our work has no end date. We ran our first proof of concept outside Rocky Mountain House in Alberta in 2019 and have shown it works over five years with wells sunk in stable sedimentary sandstone. Our second project demonstrated its reliability in hotter, deeper rock in New Mexico in the exact location where fracking efforts for both traditional geothermal and gas had failed. Our first commercial build is just outside Munich in Bavaria, Germany. It will provide distributed energy to two communities by 2025.
