A Historic Milestone for Błonie: The Symbolic Launch of Geothermal Well Błonie GT-1 By: Robert Buluma December 9, 2025 Błonie, Poland On December 3, 2025, the town of Błonie (just 30 km west of Warsaw) celebrated a moment many of us have been waiting for: the official, symbolic start of drilling the geothermal well Błonie GT-1. The drilling rig has actually been working non-stop for several weeks already. By the day of the ceremony, the borehole had reached a depth of 1,169 metres, and just 24 hours later it passed 1,214 metres. Yet the town wanted to mark this occasion properly , with speeches, guests of honour, and hundreds of curious residents gathered around the towering rig. The ribbon was cut together by Mayor Zenon Reszka and Marek Balcer, President of Geotermia Mazowiecka S.A. Both stressed that this project could become a turning point for the energy future of our 13,000-strong community. Among the guests were some of the most important figures in Polish geology and green ener...

Vinkovci Uncovers Massive Geothermal Potential: Studies and Documentation Underway By:  Robert Buluma Vinkovci, Croatia – November 3, 2025 Recent research at the Vinkovci GT-1 well has confirmed significant geothermal potential in the area, positioning Vinkovci as the third Croatian city—after Velika Gorica and Osijek—to record reservoir temperatures above 100°C. These findings continue a successful series of exploratory activities led by the  Croatian  Hydrocarbons Agency (Agencija za ugljikovodike) as part of the project “Preparation and Exploration of Geothermal Potential in the Context of Centralized Heating.” Energy of the Future Beneath Vinkovci Mayor Josip Romić expressed his excitement on social media, stating: "Research has confirmed what we believed from the start—Vinkovci and our region hold enormous geothermal potential. Beneath our feet lies the energy of the future, enabling us to reduce dependency on external factors and fluctuating energy prices. This is ...

Košice Turns Up the Heat: Geothermal Energy to Warm the City After 30 Years in Waiting By: Robert Buluma After three decades of anticipation, the city of Košice, Slovakia, is finally set to tap into one of the Earth’s cleanest and most sustainable energy sources geothermal heat. On Wednesday, drilling begins on the long-awaited project “Utilization of Geothermal Energy in the Košice Basin”, marking a major leap toward energy independence and carbon neutrality for Slovakia’s eastern metropolis. From the site of Svinica–Ďurkov, a new deep geothermal well will be drilled, expected to reach a temperature of 135°C and a flow rate of 55 liters per second. Two reinjection wells each plunging roughly 3,700 meters deep  will accompany the main production well, ensuring a closed-loop system that reuses and reheats the geothermal water beneath the Earth’s surface. The third and final well is expected to be completed by mid-2026. Turning Vision into Reality The geothermal heating project is be...
