As a part of plan of economic recovery, EU decided to allocate EUR 3.98 billion on energy projects. Today, the vast majority (97 %) has been devoted CCS technology demonstrations, building some cross-border gas and electricity interconnections as well as for developing a series of offshore wind parks etc; but not a single euro for [...]

Igor Kocis is one of the members of Geothermania’s team. But at the same time, he is the member of the Board at AGEO - Agency for Geothermal Power Engeneering as well as co-founder and CEO at Geothermal Anywhere, Slovak-based technology company focusing on technologies of ultra deep drilling.
Geothermania’s Igor and Michal talk about the [...]

These days, we take the part at the 3rd Annual Geothermal Finance and Investment Summit in Las Vegas. At the same time, geothermal energy sector becomes more and more self-confident to offer the solution for rising demand on wider using of renewable sources.
The most influence investors, project developers, contractors and the other stakeholders, meet from [...]

OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE, AVAILABLE FOR FREE SHARING AND PUBLISHING
Bratislava 17th February 2009 (GEOTHERMAL ANYWHERE): Slovak company Geothermal Anywhere has been granted US$ 3.7 million in EU research funding. The end of exponential growth of costs for geothermal and hydrocarbon drilling deeper than 5-6 km could become a history soon.
The exponential growth of costs associated with [...]

Geothermal Anywhere company and its partners received together three public grants of total US$ 3,700,000 from EU funds (more information here). The first one we described in the previous article. This flagship project is focused on core rock disintegration technology. The other two, with the total value of almost US$1,600,000, aim to do research and [...]

Geothermal Anywhere company was granted by total US$ 3,700,000 in order to do applied research in the field of ultra deep drilling, for three ULTRADRILL technology pillars. The flagship pillar project “Applied research and development of innovative drilling technology for ultra deep geothermal wells” has been awarded with value of more than US$ 2,100,000.
In other [...]

Company Geothermal Anywhere is developing new innovative drilling platform, based on non-contact method that would enable to drill ultra deep, to depths of 6-10 kilometers cost effectively.
Reported on company’s website, „in August 2009, Geothermal Anywhere submitted proposals under the Agency of the Ministry of Education of the Slovak Republic for the Structural Funds of the [...]

Geothermal Anywhere‘s ULTRADRILL robotic platform is composed of seven components, we wrote on Tuesday. The one that stands in the core is called GADigger.
GADigger is responsible for the rock disintegration. Despite the classical drilling methods, this one uses PLASMABIT technology. It is not the method based on physical contact between the rock and the drilling [...]

Last week, we started the series of articles describing the ULTRADRILL - our technology concept and robotic platform for ultra deep drilling in depths 6 kilometers (and deeper) in hydrocarbon as well as geothermal drilling industry.
ULTRADRILL itself is composed of 7 cornerstones, or components if you wish. The names of all of them start with [...]

To this time, we wrote just about geothermal energy in general and we also introduced ourselves. The time has come to start talking about Geothermal Anywhere‘s innovative drilling concept that could find the huge sense when it comes to geothermal energy, but at the same time, ULTRADRILL (as we call it) could become the useful [...]
