New energy:

GEOTHERMAL

Deep beneath all of our feet lies great potential for the energy system: heat – and thus the prerequisite for using geothermal energy.

With every kilometer underground, the temperature increases by an average of 30 degrees Celsius. The heat slowly but surely rises to the earth's surface, from there into the atmosphere and then escapes into space. On the way out, even a tiny fraction of it could be enough to warm households and power industry. In hydrothermal geothermal energy, boreholes are drilled approximately three to five kilometers deep underground and reservoirs with hot water are tapped. This is pumped to the surface, releases its energy via heat exchangers and is then returned underground. With our knowledge, we can be your partner at your side for preliminary investigations and thus for assessing usability.

New storage:

ENERGY STORAGE

Pore ​​reservoirs can not only release hot water but also absorb it. Some of the energy (heat) generated during production processes or exothermic tasks (sewage treatment plants in summer) could be stored until the time of use (winter).

These charges are possible in a decentralized manner and require very little preliminary investigation, in contrast to geothermal energy. We supported such systems during construction and the necessary drilling and expansion of the borehole were built.

New capacities:

FINAL STORAGE

The phase-out of the use of nuclear energy has been politically decided. The putative locations require a detailed preliminary investigation. We were allowed to carry out drilling for NAGRA as part of work in Switzerland. The high level of drilling execution and the accompanying investigations (cores, geophysics, packer tests and pumping tests) are offered by us and can be carried out by NBB employees. Our drilling technology allows the subsurface to be examined at a very high level.
