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...

🌍 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...
