Eavor’s closed-loop geothermal system can be deployed virtually anywhere, as it does not require naturally occurring underground water or rock permeability. An Eavor-Loop is a long-term clean energy infrastructure asset that will not require future redrilling or a continuous water supply. The technology has been demonstrated at commercial scale in Geretsried, Germany.
