Green Therma ApS and Geothermie Rupertiwinkel GmbH (GTR) have signed a Letter of Intent to explore the feasibility of deploying a closed-loop geothermal heat solution in the Rupertiwinkel geothermal area in Bavaria, Germany.

The collaboration will evaluate the potential application of Green Therma’s Heat4Ever™ technology, a closed-loop geothermal system designed to extract geothermal heat while minimizing the geological risks typically associated with conventional hydrothermal geothermal projects.

“This collaboration represents an exciting opportunity to demonstrate how closed-loop geothermal technology can unlock reliable geothermal heat with lower geological risk,” says Jørgen Peter Rasmussen, CEO of Green Therma.

Anthony Hawkins, Managing Director of Geothermie Rupertiwinkel GmbH, adds:
“We see strong potential in combining our geothermal development ambitions with Green Therma’s innovative Heat4Ever™ solution to help deliver sustainable heat for the region.”

The initial phase will focus on a feasibility assessment, including geological analysis, heat demand evaluation, and a preliminary design of a Heat4Ever™ geothermal plant. If successful, the project could form the basis for future development of a geothermal heat supply supporting industrial and district heating demands in the region.
