For decades, geothermal energy has used hot water found in aquifers between 0-4 km deep.
The geographical limitation of large-scale geothermal plants is about to be overcome by recent advances.
These studies show how energy can be produced through closed-loop deep heat exchangers (DCHE).
THE INGEO PROJECT
It focuses on developing a method to accurately measure the energy potential of deep geothermal sources.
It is crucial to assess how much energy can be extracted from layers as deep as 10 km regionally (Emilia Romagna) to generate electricity or for district heating.
InGEO is in line with the European Green Deal and is committed to achieving:
55% reduction in CO2 and climate-changing gas emissions
by 2030
Climate neutrality by 2050
The results obtained are designed to provide crucial information to investors, regulators, governments and consumers
