Can geothermal energy be scaled up globally? In this episode we look at the true arrival of geothermal energy – that important last link that connects this infinite, renewable resource with population centers around the world.To discuss this innovative geothermal energy solution, our host and journalist Steve Chaid is joined by Dr. Carsten Reinhold, Geoscience Manager at Eavor. Eavor is a next generation geothermal energy company that promises clean, reliable, and affordable energy on a global scale. More about OMV: https://www.omv.com/en/about-usMore about Eavor: Eavor - The World's First Scalable Form of Clean Baseload PowerThe Eavor Loop: Technology - Eavor - Closed-loop Geothermal, Unlike Any OtherEavor in Geretsried: Eavor-Loop™ Geretsried (eavor-geretsried.de)OMV’s Sustainability Target & Commitments: https://www.omv.com/en/sustainability/our-approach/targets-commitmentsGeothermal energy at OMV: Geothermal energy | Environmentally Friendly Energy | OMV.comOMV Blog on geothermal energy: https://www.omv.com/en/blog/geothermal-energy-energy-from-the-subsurface    Follow OMV on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/omvFollow OMV Blog: https://blog.omv.comFollow OMV on Instagram: https://instagram.com/omvFollow OMV on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/omvFollow OMV on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/omvFollow OMV on Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/omv

What are the distinctions between different geothermal systems? Why does OMV have to drill several kilometers deep for geothermal energy if geothermal heat can also be harvested several hundred meters deep? Is it necessary to establish new drilling sites every time, or is it possible to drill at existing locations? In this episode our host and journalist Steve Chaid is joined by two special guests to help us explore the depths of this topic: Nina Romich, project expert on low carbon business at OMV and Johannes Ettl, senior project manager for well construction at OMV. More about OMV: https://www.omv.com/en/about-usOMV’s Sustainability Target & Commitments: https://www.omv.com/en/sustainability/our-approach/targets-commitmentsGeothermal energy at OMV: Geothermal energy | Environmentally Friendly Energy | OMV.comOMV Blog on geothermal energy: https://www.omv.com/en/blog/geothermal-energy-energy-from-the-subsurface Follow OMV on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/omvFollow OMV Blog: https://blog.omv.comFollow OMV on Instagram: https://instagram.com/omvFollow OMV on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/omvFollow OMV on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/omvFollow OMV on Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/omv

What is the role of geothermal energy in the context of deep decarbonization and transitioning to a low carbon future? How much of Austria's energy needs will be covered by geothermal energy? How much of Europe's needs? In this episode our host and journalist Steve Chaid is joined by Peter Seifert. He is one of the founding members of the Geothermal Society of Austria, the “GTÖ”, which promotes all things geothermal, arguing that tapping into shallow, mid-distance and deep sources is both wise and necessary to fulfill Austria's energy needs amid the transition to renewable energy. More about OMV: https://www.omv.com/en/about-usOMV’s Sustainability Target & Commitments: https://www.omv.com/en/sustainability/our-approach/targets-commitmentsGeothermal energy at OMV: Geothermal energy | Environmentally Friendly Energy | OMV.comOMV Blog on geothermal energy: https://www.omv.com/en/blog/geothermal-energy-energy-from-the-subsurface   GTÖ: GTÖ - Home - Geothermie für Österreich (geothermie-oesterreich.at)GTÖ podcast: Gesammelte podcasts zum Thema Geothermie - Geothermie für Österreich (geothermie-oesterreich.at) Follow OMV on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/omvFollow OMV Blog: http://blog.omv.comFollow OMV on Instagram: http://instagram.com/omvFollow OMV on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/omvFollow OMV on LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/company/omvFollow OMV on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/omv

Everybody loves a treasure hunt, and it turns out there is a massive source of renewable energy buried right beneath Vienna. A project called „Deeep“ is on the verge of tapping into it and making the Austrian capital one of the world's first major cities to have geothermal energy become a big part of its future energy mix.   To find out more about this ambitious treasure hunt, the progress made so far and the promise for tomorrow our host and journalist Steve Chaid is joined by two guests in this episode. Peter Keglovic is the project manager for geothermal energy at „Wien Energie”. Bernhard Novotny is head of OMV's Geothermal Projects in Low Carbon Business. More about OMV: https://www.omv.com/en/about-usOMV’s Sustainability Target & Commitments: https://www.omv.com/en/sustainability/our-approach/targets-commitmentsGeothermal energy at OMV: Geothermal energy | Environmentally Friendly Energy | OMV.comOMV Blog on geothermal energy: https://www.omv.com/en/blog/geothermal-energy-energy-from-the-subsurface   Wien Energie: Wien Energie » Angebote zu Strom, Gas & FernwärmeProject Deeep: Climate-neutral district heating: Wien Energie and OMV establish joint venture for deep geothermal energy Follow OMV on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/omvFollow OMV Blog: http://blog.omv.comFollow OMV on Instagram: http://instagram.com/omvFollow OMV on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/omvFollow OMV on LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/company/omvFollow OMV on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/omv

In this new season we will be talking about an entirely hot new topic: geothermal energy. To find out all about how it works, why it isn't being used widely today, and whether it will be widely used tomorrow our host and journalist, Steve Chaid, is joined by Edith Haslinger. She is a senior scientist for sustainable thermal Energy systems at AIT, the Austrian Institute of Technology.  More about OMV: https://www.omv.com/en/about-usOMV’s Sustainability Target & Commitments: https://www.omv.com/en/sustainability/our-approach/targets-commitmentsGeothermal energy at OMV: Geothermal energy | Environmentally Friendly Energy | OMV.comOMV Blog on geothermal energy: https://www.omv.com/en/blog/geothermal-energy-energy-from-the-subsurface   AIT (Austrian Institute of Technology): Startseite - AIT Austrian Institute Of TechnologyGeothermal energy research project: Geothermal heating and cooling networks for industry, commerce and residential buildings The NEFI research project CASCADE is developing concepts for the geothermal heat supply of two municipalities and two industrial companies with gradual heat utilization - AIT Austrian Institute Of Technology Follow OMV on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/omvFollow OMV Blog: http://blog.omv.comFollow OMV on Instagram: http://instagram.com/omvFollow OMV on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/omvFollow OMV on LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/company/omvFollow OMV on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/omv
