Ready-Check for Deep Geothermal Energy

A 360° View for Informed Project Decisions

Deep geothermal energy draws on heat from underground layers at depths of more than 400 meters. It is one of the most reliable and sustainable energy sources available. This is because it harnesses continuously available heat from the Earth, meaning it can operate without the need for fossil energy resources.

However, for future projects to unlock their full potential, it takes far more than suitable geological conditions. Precise planning, sound expertise and a holistic view of every project phase are also essential.

Comprehensive support and modular advice for complex projects

We support project sponsors with a systematic assessment of every factor critical to a deep geothermal project’s success. Our approach combines detailed technical knowledge with a broader strategic view. This helps us identify risks early, clarify where action is needed, and move projects forward with a clear sense of direction.

Our Expertise

Step 1: Digital Ready-Check

We review every aspect of the project with the relevant partners, then recommend actions in order of urgency and impact. This will give you greater transparency regarding the project status and a solid basis for making decisions about the next steps in the project.

Step 2: Planning and implementation

We build upon the Ready-Check to help you develop the identified measures and put them into practice. We examine the following areas in greater depth:

Legal: Reviewing the legal framework, with support throughout permitting, procurement, and contracting.
Project management: Assessing organizational structures, processes, responsibilities, interfaces, and decision-making procedures. We review project workflows to identify improvements that will help delivery run smoothly.
Financing strategy and funding: Developing a viable financing structure that addresses capital requirements, includes investor outreach and provides a basis for securing funding support.
Economic viability: Analyzing the project’s economic viability through a comprehensive assessment of the business case.
Customers and buyers: Assessing potential customer groups and developing buyer models to secure stable demand.
Sales: Analyzing sales channels, with support to develop marketing strategies.
Geology: Analyzing geological data to assess the potential below ground.
Insurance and risks: Assessing project-specific risks to develop a tailored insurance plan.
Communications: Managing public relations, with stakeholder dialogue to build support for the project.
Drilling expertise: Providing technical advice on drilling, from planning through execution to supervision.
