AFK Geothermie launches €65M dublette drilling to heat 1,200 homes

AFK Geothermie launches second dublette drilling in Aschheim , pathway to 1,200 geothermal heat connections Summary AFK Geothermie has begun preparing the drill site for a second deep geothermal dublette near Aschheim. Drilling is scheduled to start in November at depths up to 2,600 meters. The project aims to supply up to 1,200 residential connections in Aschheim, Feldkirchen and Kirchheim with district heating from January 2028, expanding an established field first tapped in 2008. Total investment is around €65 million, combining public grants, municipal contributions, company equity and long-term loans. Why this matters now The AFK project is a practical example of how municipal-scale geothermal systems move from demonstration to scale-up. As European policymakers push for decarbonized heating, replicable, well-financed geothermal projects that integrate with existing district heating networks are becoming critical. The Aschheim dublette highlights common technical, financial and ...

Dynelectro, Syntholene, and the Geothermal SOEC Breakthrough in Iceland

Dynelectro, Syntholene, and the Geothermal SOEC Breakthrough in Iceland Dynelectro’s role in the Syntholene Iceland project highlights a major shift in how the market should think about SOEC technology. For years, solid oxide electrolysis cells have been seen as highly efficient but too difficult to commercialize because of stack degradation, short operating life, and the complexity of integrating them into real industrial systems. This project helps challenge that view by showing how geothermal integration, advanced power electronics, and system-level design can make SOEC a credible industrial solution. The most important takeaway is simple: the market has often misunderstood SOEC as a technology limited by chemistry alone, when in fact a large part of the challenge is operational. Dynelectro’s approach shows that if the stack is controlled properly and supported by the right electrical architecture, SOEC can move much closer to commercial viability. The Syntholene Iceland ...

EGS, Superhot Rock & AI: Geothermal Expert Cary Lindsey on the Industry's Next 20 Years

“Inside the Next Wave of Geothermal Innovation: Opportunities, Risks, and Global Impact” By: Robert Buluma An indepth interview with Cary Lindsey, PhD Research Scientist Great Basin Center for Geothermal Energy, Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology, University of Nevada Reno 1. Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) are often described as geothermal's "breakout technology." From a geological standpoint, what are the biggest unresolved uncertainties preventing large-scale commercial deployment ? The progress we've seen in EGS over the last few years has been incredible. For a long time, geothermal was largely limited to places where nature had already done the hard work for us by creating hot, permeable reservoirs. EGS opens the door to developing geothermal resources in places that were previously off the table. That said, there are still some big questions we need to answer. Can we maintain those engineered reservoirs for decades? How much liquid (water or brine) will the...

SECI’s Geothermal EOI for Andaman & Nicobar Islands: What It Means for India’s Next Frontier in Clean Power The Solar Energy Corporation of India’s EOI for geothermal resource assessment and development in the Andaman & Nicobar Islands is a notable signal that India is widening its renewable-energy playbook beyond solar and wind. For developers, consultants, and investors, this tender is less about a single procurement and more about a strategic entry point into one of India’s most technically intriguing clean-energy frontiers. Why This EOI Matters SECI has published Tender ID SECI000268 under reference SECI/C&P/EOI/17/0003/26-27 for the “Identification and Capability Assessment of Agencies for Geothermal Resource Assessment, Exploration, Development, and Utilization of Geothermal Power Plant in UT of A&N Islands.” The document indicates that the initiative is meant to identify agencies with capability across geothermal resource assessment, exploration, development, and...

Deep Geothermal Drilling Preparation for Renewable District Heating

Deep Drilling Preparation for Geothermal Energy: The Erdwärme Breisgau Project The Erdwärme Breisgau geothermal project has received approval for its next phase, allowing Badenova and Herrenknecht to begin preparing a deep-drilling site near Hartheim in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. The partners plan to invest approximately €60 million to explore a geothermal reservoir located around 3,200 metres underground and develop a heating plant for regional district heating. Why Deep Drilling Matters for Geothermal Heating Deep geothermal energy can provide a stable, renewable source of heat for district-heating networks. Unlike solar and wind power, which depend on weather conditions, geothermal heating can operate continuously when the underground reservoir and surface infrastructure are technically and economically viable. The Erdwärme Breisgau project is designed to investigate a hot-water reservoir beneath the Hartheim area. The plan involves drilling two directional wells: one producti...

Exclusive Interview: An In-Depth Look at Exergy’s Game-Changing Gemini Turbine

Exclusive interview with Exergy : discover the new Gemini dual-flow radial outflow turbine, the first single-unit ORC solution for 30–60 MW geothermal projects, offering up to 30 % lower costs and 99 % availability. By: Robert Buluma . An interview with Luca Pozzoni - Deputy CEO | Group CFO - Exergy International and the Exergy Team 1. Can you walk us through the key design innovations in your new Gemini turbine and how it differs from previous models? The major innovation of the Gemini turbine lies in the dual-flow configuration: unlike conventional radial outflow turbines which are equipped with a single bladed overhung rotor disk, the Gemini features a double-side bladed rotor disk mounted in a between-bearing configuration. This enables the efficient processing of significantly larger volumes of fluid, leading to higher power output having basically two radial outflow turbines in a single machine with enhanced operational stability and simplified mainte...

🔥 Krafla Magma Testbed: Drilling Into the Earth’s Fiery Heart

Krafla Magma Testbed (KMT) : Humanity’s Bold Leap Into the Heart of the Earth Interview from Bjorn Gudmundsson the C.E.O-Krafla Magma Testbed and Team By: Robert Buluma In 2009, deep beneath Iceland’s iconic Krafla volcano, a drilling team made history. During the IDDP-1 project, their drill bit pierced into magma molten rock at just two kilometers below the surface. What began as an accident became a scientific revelation. For the first time, humans had safely accessed magma. This “Eureka” moment gave birth to an idea so daring it almost sounds like science fiction: the creation of a permanent observatory where magma could be directly studied. That idea became the Krafla Magma Testbed (KMT) a visionary international project that promises to rewrite the future of geothermal science, volcanic monitoring, and sustainable energy. Why Krafla? The Perfect Laboratory Beneath Our Feet Krafla’s geology is unique. It offers a known shallow magma body, decades of research...
