- Cooperation between NDEWG and Eavor
- Further development of the use of geothermal energy
- Geothermal projects in Hanover – a driving force beyond the city limits
Lingen/Ems, Düsseldorf. On August 26, 2024, Norddeutsche Erdwärme Gewinnungsgesellschaft GmbH (NDEWG) and Eavor GmbH reached a groundbreaking cooperation agreement that enables the use of different geothermal technologies within the same permit area. This “geological layered solution” marks a significant step in the further development of geothermal energy use in Germany and contributes significantly to the heating transition in the Hanover area.
Under the agreement, Eavor will receive approval from the permit holder, NDEWG, to create Eavor-Loops in lower levels of the Altwarmbüchener Moor permit area, which will be jointly used in the future. At the same time, NDEWG plans to develop a hydrothermal geothermal solution in the upper levels.
“This partnership shows how innovative collaboration can drive the energy transition forward. We are demonstrating how to efficiently use a permit area with different technologies at different depths,” emphasizes Daniel Mölk, Managing Director of Eavor GmbH.
This cooperation is not only a milestone for the participating companies and the Hanover region, but for the entire German geothermal energy industry as well. For the first time, both open and closed geothermal technologies will be used in a single permit area as part of a geological layered solution. The combination of these two approaches facilitates optimal use of geothermal resources, thus making a significant contribution to the sustainable heating supply in the Hanover region.
“Our collaboration shows that geothermal energy, regardless of the technology used, is an indispensable part of the energy transition and that new, forward-looking paths can be taken by working together in partnership,” explains Albrecht Möhring, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of NDEWG GmbH.
As a consumer of the subsidized heat, Enercity, one of Germany’s largest municipal energy companies and the district heating provider for Hanover, will benefit from this forward-looking cooperation and further expand its role as a pioneer and driving force in the energy transition.

Eavor GmbH is a subsidiary of Eavor Technologies Inc. Its task is to develop geothermal heat and power generation projects in Germany. Eavor Technologies Inc., the parent company, was founded in Canada in 2017 by specialists from the energy sector. Numerous groundbreaking patents in drilling technology and in the sealing of boreholes form the foundation of Eavor-Loop™ technology. In Geretsried, Eavor™ is writing the next chapter of the energy transition. The Eavor-Loop™ is a geothermal power station with a closed system. In an underground heat exchanger, a heat transfer fluid circulates independently in the plutonic rock. Thermal water is not required.
