🔋 Eavor’s Magnetic Leap: How Germany's First Closed-Loop Geothermal Plant is Rewriting Renewable Energy Rules

🌍 A New Era for Geothermal: Eavor’s Groundbreaking Technology Powers Germany Forward By:  Robert Buluma The renewable energy world is buzzing, and for good reason. In the quiet town of Geretsried, Germany , something extraordinary is happening underground  Eavor Technologies has launched a geothermal revolution that could change the energy game forever. At the center of this disruption is Eavor-Link™ Active Magnetic Ranging (AMR)  a drilling technology so precise, it can align two wells with surgical accuracy, 100 meters apart, thousands of meters below the surface. 🧲 The Magic of Magnetic Ranging Traditional geothermal systems depend heavily on subsurface water and sometimes controversial methods like fracking. But Eavor’s AMR system is eliminating these dependencies by creating a closed-loop geothermal circuit  known as the Eavor-Loop™ . This loop operates with zero emissions, requires no water withdrawal, and eliminates induced seismicity concerns. It ci...

Towards a Shared Future: Indonesia and New Zealand Launch the Geothermal Partnership Program PINZ

Amidst the bustle of the capital city, a monumental moment took place at the Slamet Bratanata Building of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM):  By: Robert Buluma Indonesia and New Zealand officially launched the Indonesia–Aotearoa New Zealand Geothermal Partnership Program (PINZ). This cross-country initiative not only marks a new era of bilateral cooperation but also underscores Indonesia’s strategic steps in advancing its clean energy transition. With an ambitious target of increasing geothermal capacity by 1.1 GW over the next five years , PINZ is not merely a technical project—it is a declaration that Indonesia is serious about becoming a global geothermal powerhouse , surpassing even the United States. Shaking the Global Energy Status Quo “Energy transition is not a choice—it’s a necessity,” asserted Eniya Listiani Dewi, Director General of New and Renewable Energy and Energy Conservation (EBTKE). In her stirring address, she emphasized that Indonesia’s success...

Canada and Tanzania Unite to Unlock Geothermal Energy in Meru: A Powerful Step Toward a Greener Future

In a groundbreaking move set to reshape Tanzania’s energy landscape, Climate Action Africa (CAA) and the Tanzania Geothermal Development Company (TGDC) have officially launched a game-changing initiative: Undertaking Detailed Surface Study for Meru Geothermal Prospect .  Robert Buluma This dynamic collaboration marks the first Climate Action Africa partnership of its kind in Tanzania and holds the promise of transforming the nation’s energy future through geothermal power. A Vision Born at the Foot of Mount Meru The Meru Geothermal Prospect, nestled beneath the majestic Mount Meru in Northern Tanzania, is no ordinary site. It is a sleeping giant—an untapped source of clean, renewable, low-emission energy that could power thousands of homes and industries. With the support of the Government of Canada and technical partners like TownRock Energy (UK), Oxfam Consults, and Aquarius Resources, this venture is more than a project—it’s a leap forward in climate resilience and energy inde...
