FEASIBILITY STUDIES, EXPERT ASSESSMENTS AND PLANS FOR THE USE OF RENEWABLE ENERGY

In the fields of geothermal and regenerative energy, we develop feasibility studies, analyses and planning for facilities to use the earth’s heat.

Use of geothermal energy feasibility study

The primary goal is to examine the chance of obtaining approval and the commercial feasibility of geothermal systems at an early stage, so as to achieve the greatest possible planning security for the client. In coordination with all construction participants and officials, and the corresponding simulations and tests, we develop the best solution for you, and ensure its proper execution and monitoring by experts.

Soil probes, exchanger fields or well systems are used, depending on the size and the geological circumstances. In cooperation with partner companies, we develop holistic concepts for using other renewable energy (solar thermal, photovoltaic, etc.).
