Deep geothermal energy is a sustainable energy source that uses warm water that is often naturally present in the subsurface. It can be used as base-load energy supply, as it’s not dependent on weather conditions. Geothermal energy is also easy to control, the equipment requires little space, and the operational costs are low.
The techniques used to extract the heat from the subsurface are known and mature. Geothermal energy, both for electricity production and direct use, has been applied on a commercial scale for many decades.
By making use of the expertise and experience built up by Ecofys over the years you can be sure that you’ve chosen the right energy technology. You can make your investment decisions based on professional research, so that your risks are kept to a minimum, and we can introduce you to the best implementation companies.
At Ecofys we provide a broad range of services related to deep geothermal energy. Making sure that the extracted heat is used optimally – and profitably – is at the core of our approach. We specialize in consultancy related to electricity production from geothermal sources, direct heat applications, as well as a combination of both technologies.
Example projects include feasibility studies on electricity production on the island of Texel and a feasibility study on geothermal district heating in Gorinchem in Zuid-Holland province in the Netherlands.
