Alphaxioms Geothermal News and Related Research Globally

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...

Baker Hughes Partners with Fervo Energy to Deliver Next-Gen Geothermal Power in Utah By:  Robert Buluma In a bold stride toward a carbon-free energy future, Baker Hughes has been selected by Fervo Energy , a leader in next-generation geothermal, to deliver critical equipment for five cutting-edge Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) power plants at Cape Station Phase II in Utah. The award, announced on September 2, 2025 , marks a significant milestone in the evolution of geothermal technology as the project aims to generate 300 MW of reliable, clean, and affordable baseload power  enough to power nearly 180,000 homes . A Game-Changing Collaboration At the heart of this project is the integration of Baker Hughes’ advanced turboexpanders and BRUSH™ Power Generation generators with Fervo’s groundbreaking Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) . Together, they are building a fully integrated geothermal solution that is scalable, repeatable, and ready to redefine baseload power . Tim Latimer,...

🌍 Seismic Surveys Kick Off Geothermal Exploration in Łódź Why Łódź is Going Underground for Clean Heat By:  Robert Buluma In an exciting development for climate-focused energy innovation, the Danish company Innargi has teamed up with Veolia Energia Łódź to explore the geothermal potential beneath the city of Łódź, Poland. A letter of intent signed in late 2024 formalized their long-term partnership to decarbonize the city's district heating system by tapping into renewable geothermal resources. Mapping the Earth: What’s Happening & When Starting around August 11, 2025 , seismic surveys are scheduled to begin across four routes covering approximately 160–186 km throughout the city. Specialized vibro‑trucks will send controlled vibrations—lasting roughly 20 seconds—into the ground. These signals are captured by geophones placed in advance along the planned routes. The data will be used to build a detailed subsurface map in just 4 weeks . Survey operations are prima...
