Eavor steps back from operator role in the Geretsried geothermal project

Eavor at the Crossroads: What Geretsried Really Tells Us About the Future of Closed-Loop Geothermal By Alphaxioms Geothermal Insights | May 13, 2026 For years, Eavor Technologies was the geothermal sector's most talked-about enigma. The company raised hundreds of millions of dollars, attracted backing from heavyweights including BP , Chevron , Helmerich & Payne , and Temasek , and made bold promises about a proprietary closed-loop technology that would quietly revolutionise how humanity extracts heat from the earth. But it rarely said much in public. The secrecy was, to many observers in the geothermal community, a feature rather than a bug — protecting intellectual property, managing competitive intelligence, buying time. Now, Eavor is talking. And what it is saying is worth listening to very carefully. In an exclusive interview published on May 13, 2026, by GeoExpro editor Henk Kombrink, Eavor's new president and CEO Mark Fitzgerald — who took the role in October 2025 ...

Mazama vs Quaise: Superhot Geothermal Technology Comparison Guide

The Race to the Earth’s Core: A Superhot Geothermal Showdown By: Robert Buluma After half a century of being confined to geologically unique hotspots, geothermal energy is finally going global. At the heart of this revolution are two very different companies. Mazama Energy and Quaise Energy are both racing to do something that has never been done before: create a commercially viable, superhot rock (SHR) geothermal power plant. But while their destination is the same, their maps for getting there could not be more different. Mazama is taking the most advanced version of the oil and gas industry’s playbook and running it at record temperatures. Quaise is throwing that playbook away entirely and betting on a new kind of drill powered by fusion-grade technology. This is a head-to-head comparison of their technologies, their timelines, and their ultimate potential to reshape our energy landscape.

INTERVIEW, Geretsried and Beyond: Eavor’s Blueprint for Reliable, Sustainable Energy

Robert Buluma :  Alphaxioms Responses were provided by Jeanine Vany, Executive Vice-President of Corporate Affairs, Eavor . Can you explain the key technological advancements in the latest iteration of the Eavor-Loop™ system? We have made a number of technological advancements at our project in Geretsried Germany . This includes innovation and learning resulting in dramatic improvements in our drilling performance and we’re proud to talk about our technology. For example, Eavor recently announced successful implementation of our in-house AMR (active magnetic ranging) tool which makes drilling more accurate and efficient. Eavor-Link™ AMR uses magnetic ranging while drilling to maintain constant alignment as it drills two wells at approximately 100 metres apart before they are intersected to create a continuous geothermal loop, which is then sealed with Eavor’s proprietary Rock-Pipe™ formula. With real-time data transmission between downhole sensors, the technology ensures tighter bo...

Ormat raises concerns over Kenya Power payment delays

When Power Stalls: Payment Delays Threaten Kenya’s Geothermal Momentum By: Robert Buluma Kenya’s geothermal story has long been told as one of Africa’s most compelling energy success narratives—a nation that dared to dig deep into the Earth and emerged with a reliable, renewable backbone for its electricity grid. From the steaming plains of Olkaria to the ambitious expansions across the Rift Valley, geothermal has positioned Kenya as a continental leader in clean baseload power. But beneath this success lies a growing tension—one that could quietly undermine the very foundation of this progress. Recent signals from , one of Kenya’s key independent power producers, have cast a spotlight on a familiar yet dangerous challenge: delayed payments from . What may appear as a routine financial hiccup is, in reality, a warning sign with far-reaching implications for investment, energy security, and the future trajectory of geothermal development in Kenya.

Pennsylvania Geothermal Pilot Sparks Revolutionary Enhanced Energy Systems Expansion

Pennsylvania’s $14 Million Geothermal Pilot Ignites Energy Revolution The United States geothermal industry is entering a transformative era, and Pennsylvania has suddenly emerged at the center of that revolution. Long known for its oil, gas, and coal legacy, the Commonwealth is now positioning itself as a future powerhouse for next-generation geothermal energy through an ambitious Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) demonstration project backed by a $14 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy. The announcement by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) is far more than another clean energy story. It represents a bold reimagining of America’s energy infrastructure, one where abandoned and active oil and gas wells may soon become gateways to a new geothermal economy. At the heart of this initiative lies a groundbreaking concept: extracting the immense heat stored beneath Pennsylvania’s surface and transforming it into reliable electricity and thermal ener...
