The largest planetary energy source

The largest planetary energy source

There is an unlimited and continuous source of carbon-free energy located directly under our feet.

More than 99% of the planet is at a temperature above 1000°C. Only the first 3 kilometers below the surface are at a temperature of less than 100°C.

We can tap into the Earth’s energy by drilling holes in the hot rock, 3 to 5 km under the surface and circulating a fluid to capture the heat.

Shifting oil and gas into renewable

We partner with leaders of the drilling industry to transfer oil and gas technologies and know-how into a new perennial industrial segment.

We are determined in building new qualified competences within the Swiss industrial landscape.

Technologies to access the deep subsurface resources have been perfectioned over decades by the oil and gas industry.

Today, deep reverse radiators can be built to recover the heat from the Earth in the most simplest way.

Water is circulated into the wells to collect the heat from the surrounding rocks and bring it back to the surface for various applications, such as district heating, cooling, industrial heat processes or baseload electricity generation.

Advanced deep geothermal solutions can radically transform our energy future.

The heat of the Earth is accessible everywhere and thus holds the promises of energy independence

Unlike solar and wind, geothermal is always available, has low critical material intensity and land use.

Its infrastructures resist extreme weather events and it has been shown to create more jobs than any other renewable energy.

Deep geothermal is poised to fundamentally reshape the energy landscape, supporting energy independence, security and resilience.

Made possible by Migros Pioneer Fund

The Migros Pioneer Fund supports sustainable solutions for societal challenges with the goal of initiating systemic change towards a future-oriented society. The impact-oriented funding approach combines financial support with active funding and risk management. The fund is part of the social commitment of the Migros Group and has an annual budget of approximately CHF 15 million. The Migros Pioneer Fund is supported by companies such as Denner, Migros Bank, Migrol, migrolinio and Ex Libris.
