在政治支持的巨大展示中，总理奥拉夫·肖尔茨亲自带领参观了德国格雷茨里德的EavorErdwärme Geretsried GmbH（Eavor Geretsried）地热项目现场。与总理一同参观的还有联邦研究部长贝蒂娜·斯塔克-瓦辛格、巴伐利亚州总理马库斯·索德和巴伐利亚州经济部长胡贝尔特·艾万格。

格雷茨里德地热项目将是Eavor公司Eavor-Loop™技术的首个商业部署。在此之前，名为Eavor-Lite™的原型项目已经在加拿大阿尔伯塔省的洛基豪斯山附近建立起来。在2022年10月举行了奠基仪式，并于2023年7月开始钻探。

“如果这次尝试成功，不仅将是一项伟大的工程，而且对我们的热能转型来说将是更大的进步。因为那样的话，你可以在许多迄今为止无法使用地热水的地方独立使用地热能，而且还可以使用更大量的地热能，”联邦总理奥拉夫·肖尔茨在参观项目时表示。

雄心勃勃的2030计划“我们的目标是到2030年尽可能多地开发地热能源，”肖尔茨在巴伐利亚的一次活动中说道。联邦政府此前设定了到2030年增加100个地热项目的目标。此外，还有一个目标是将地热能源供应到供热网络中的十倍。

“这是一个雄心勃勃的目标，但可靠且价格合理的可再生能源供应不仅对我们的公民有利，而且对我们的经济也非常重要，”总理补充道。

Ina tremendous show of political support, Chancellor Olaf Scholz personally led a visit to the site of the geothermal project of EavorErdwärme Geretsried GmbH(Eavor Geretsried) in Geretsried, Germany. Joining the Chancellor in this visit were Federal Research Minister Bettina Stark-Watzinger, Bavaria’s Prime Minister Markus Söder, and Bavarian Economics Minister Hubert Aiwanger.

TheGeretsried geothermal project will be the first commercial deployment of Eavor’s Eavor-Loop™ technology. Prior to this, a prototype project called Eavor-Lite™ had already been put up near Rocky House Mountain in Alberta, Canada. Thegroundbreaking ceremonywas held in October 2022 and drilling started around July2023.

“Ifthis attempt succeeds, it would not only be a great piece of engineering, but an even greater progress for our heat transition. Because then you could use geothermal energy independently of the thermal water in many places where it has not been possible so far, andalso in larger quantities,”said Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz during his visit to the project.

Ambitious2030 plans“Ourgoal is to tap as much geothermal energy as possible by 2030,”Scholz said during an event in Bavaria. The Federal Government had previously set atarget of 100 additional geothermal projects by 2030.In addition, there is a target to supply ten times as much geothermal energy into heating networks.

‘Thisis ambitious, but a secure and affordable supply of renewable energy is an advantage not only four our citizens, but also very decisive for our economy,”added the Chancellor.
