June 2025: In Thurgau a wide range of data is being collected to identify areas with optimal conditions. This includes, among other aspects, information about transmission lines, roads, protected areas, terrain slopes, cost of electricity, available local infrastructure, energy demand as well as the geothermal conditions. Each of these aspects is now represented in a separate map. Combined with additional information, this will form the basis for further exploration.

May 2025: In the context of the regional scale assessment of GeoHEAT, Arnaud Mignan has developed a Python code to map the Levelized Cost of Electricity (LCOE) and optimise geothermal plant siting. So far only available to the project partners, the map computation, meta-model documentation and tutorial will be made public at a later stage of the project. On LinkedIn you can get a glimpse into some of the results, represented on an interactive map of Thurgau, Switzerland.

May 2025: GeoHEAT on EGU: The EGU General Assembly brings together geoscientists from all over the world. Our experts presented new developments in geothermal exploration. We are going to make geothermal exploration easier, cheaper and less risky!
