Łódź Geothermal Milestone: Innargi and Geofizyka Toruń Wrap Up Seismic Surveys"

Łódź Reaches a New Milestone in Poland’s Geothermal Journey

Poland’s renewable energy landscape has taken another significant step forward. In Łódź, seismic surveys aimed at mapping geothermal potential have officially been completed marking another chapter in the nation’s transition toward green energy.

Earlier this summer, seismic trucks rolled into the heart of Łódź, covering 160 kilometers of subsurface across the city center and surrounding areas. In just four weeks finishing ahead of schedule the data collection phase was wrapped up. This work builds on similar surveys conducted earlier in Poznań, with both cities forming part of a larger geothermal exploration effort.

Why This Matters

Seismic surveys are more than just technical exercises. They provide vital insights into the geothermal resources beneath Poland’s largest urban areas, helping scientists and energy planners determine how renewable heat can be harnessed to power district heating systems. With heating demands in cities as large as Łódź, tapping into geothermal energy could significantly strengthen energy independence, reduce reliance on fossil fuels, and cut CO₂ emissions.

What Comes Next?

The next steps will see Geofizyka Toruń S.A. process the thousands of data points collected. Geoscientists will then analyze the results, producing a detailed report on Łódź’s geothermal potential. Early studies are promising: geothermal energy could cover up to 15% of Łódź’s heating demand, an outcome that would bolster sustainability while reducing environmental impact.

This milestone is part of a long-term collaboration between Innargi, Veolia Energia Łódź, and the City of Łódź, showcasing how joint efforts can accelerate the green transition.

Community Support

Projects of this scale rely not only on technical expertise but also on public cooperation. The people of Łódź showed remarkable patience as seismic trucks moved through their streets, ensuring this milestone could be achieved smoothly.

Looking Ahead

From Poznań to Łódź, each completed survey paints a clearer picture of Poland’s geothermal potential. As Innargi and its partners continue to unlock these resources, the vision of entire cities powered by clean, renewable heat comes closer to reality.

This is just the beginning of Poland’s geothermal journey one that promises to reshape its energy future while placing sustainability at the center of urban life.

The third and final well is expected to be completed by mid-2026. Turning Vision into Reality The geothermal heating project is be...

Driving the UK Toward Net Zero: Chris Sladen on Geothermal’s Untapped Potential

Alphaxioms, we talked to Chris Sladen about his involvement in geothermal both in the UK, and globally By: Robert Buluma Chris, please begin by explaining a little about yourself, and why you have a passion for geothermal? I have spent over 45 years involved in energy. Following undergraduate studies in geology at Southampton University, and a PhD in sedimentology at Reading University, I joined the energy sector in Aberdeen in 1980. It was a fascinating era when it seemed like at least one giant oil & gas field was discovered offshore every month; the wealth creation for the UK was gigantic. I got to see so much geology and rocks - my true passion. I moved to China in late 1983; not today’s China, this was over 40 years ago, a country closed for decades and embarking on an open-door policy, in part to bring both investment and technology. I became very interested in energy trends, energy politics, and new geography created by changing politics leading to opportunities for ene...

Mastering the Subsurface: Insights from a Geothermal Reservoir Engineer

Geothermal energy is often called the “quiet backbone” of the clean energy transition. To understand the science, challenges, and innovations driving this sector, we spoke with a seasoned geothermal reservoir engineer with experience spanning the Andes, Nevada, Utah, and volcanic fields worldwide. Here’s what they shared. By: Robert Buluma 1. What sparked your passion for geothermal reservoir engineering, and did you ever imagine yourself working in some of the world’s most challenging geothermal fields? My passion was sparked during my early career in the petroleum industry, specifically in reservoirs. I was fascinated by the subsurface—how fluids move, how heat and pressure interact but it wasn’t until I worked on projects in Peru that I realized geothermal offered the chance to apply my skills to clean energy. I never imagined I would later work on Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) projects in Nevada and Utah or Andean volcanic fields, where the geology is as unforgiving as it ...
