NEXT-GEN DRILLING FOR LOW-IMPACT GEOTHERMAL
Spotted: Heat makes up half of the world’s total energy consumption, and heating for buildings and water accounts for around 60 per cent of energy-related carbon emissions. With the majority of thermal energy worldwide still generated using fossil fuels, geothermal presents a promising alternative. Traditional drilling methods have so far remained costly and space-intensive, often requiring sites as large as a football field to drill deep enough to access meaningful thermal energy. HammerDrum has an innovative approach that could overcome these barriers.
Swiss geothermal drilling company HammerDrum has reported the first successful deployment of their innovative, fully automated drilling robot.
Innovative drilling company HammerDrum AG has reported the first successful deployment of the world’s first fully automated drilling robot. Although drilling was only done for about 20 meters depth, this is a significant milestone as the company continues to work on the technology to target deep drilling between 500 to 3000 meters.
Heizenergie aus Tausenden Metern Tiefe: Surseer Start-up entwickelt neuartige Bohrmethode für Geothermie.
Luzernerzeitung schreibt: «Kostengünstig und platzsparend soll die neue Bohrmethode sein, mit der ein Surseer Jungunternehmen die Nutzung von Erdwärme voranbringen will. Der Markteintritt ist für 2025 geplant.» 22.12.2022
«Riesige Ehre»: Jungunternehmer aus Sursee gewinnen Start-up-Award
Luzernerzeitung schreibt: «Grossprojekte der Geothermie sind mit hohen Kosten verbunden. Die beiden Gründer Nicola Nyfeller und Oliver Rau sind überzeugt, dass sie einen besseren und effizienteren Weg entwickelt haben, um den Untergrund geothermisch zu erschliessen.» 11.11.2022
