(Statement issued by the company (Announcement)<\/span><\/p>\n

Calgary-based Eavor Technologies<\/strong> has positioned itself as a global leader in scalable geothermal with the first commercial<\/strong> project<\/strong> of its kind in the world. Eavor has officially begun delivering power to the German<\/strong> grid from its facility at Geretsried, celebrating a historic milestone for geothermal and for Eavor\u2019s technology — the Eavor-Loop\u2122.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to announce the successful delivery of the world\u2019s first electrons generated from closed-loop multilateral wells,\u201d said Mark Fitzgerald, President and CEO of Eavor<\/strong>. \u201cWith Geretsried now on-stream, we\u2019re more confident than ever that our closed-loop geothermal system, designed for adaptability and suited to the world\u2019s diverse regions, will secure its place as the leading solution for commercial geothermal applications.\u201d<\/p>\n

This milestone proves that 24\/7, clean heat and power are possible through Eavor\u2019s geothermal technology. Eavor\u2019s closed-loop system is suitable across a wide range of geologies. It does not require future redrilling, water sourcing or treatment, resulting in minimal maintenance and operating costs compared to other geothermal technologies over project lifetimes.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe technological and commercial success at Geretsried validates the project as a blueprint for wider European and global rollout as regions seek stable, locally derived carbon-free energy sources with minimal land and water usage,\u201d said Fabricio Ces\u00e1rio, Head of Project Delivery and Operations, Eavor GmbH<\/strong>. \u201cWe are especially grateful to our project partners for their confidence and early investment which were instrumental in pushing the first of a kind learning phase and advancing the project maturation.\u201d<\/p>\n

This achievement is just the beginning of Eavor\u2019s journey to scale its geothermal technology and shape the future of clean energy. Building on the insights gained from Geretsried, Eavor is committed to advancing development in the region and expanding its global portfolio. With innovation at its core, Eavor remains focused on its mission of enabling reliable, sustainable geothermal energy everywhere.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cEavor\u2019s achievement at Geretsried represents a landmark moment for Canadian clean technology innovation and leadership. Canada Growth Fund (CGF) is proud to support a Canadian champion as it advances toward broader commercial deployment, reflecting our mandate to support Canadian technologies through first commercialization and strengthen Canadian competitiveness, including participation in the emerging energy sector.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nicola Beer, European Investment Bank Vice President:<\/strong>
\n\u201cIn Geretsried, we see more than a technological first. This is a European success story in action. The first commercial Eavor-Loop plant shows that geothermal energy can be scaled up to deliver affordable, clean and reliable heat and power to households and businesses \u2013 day and night, in every season. It cuts emissions and strengthens energy security. Eavor\u2019s milestone proves what Europe can achieve when innovators, the European Investment Bank and partners join forces. With support from our InvestEU-guaranteed loan of nearly \u20ac45 million, the EU Innovation Fund grant and leading European and global banks, this pioneering project turns cutting-edge geothermal technology into reality. It accelerates the clean energy innovation Europe needs to stay competitive and reach climate neutrality.\u201d<\/p>\n

Berislav Gaso, OMV Executive Vice President Energy:<\/strong>
\n\u201cOMV congratulates Eavor on the world\u2019s first commercial Eavor-Loop\u2122 facility, proving closed-loop technology and opening new opportunities for sustainable energy supply. As Eavor\u2019s project partner, OMV contributed substantial operational know-how, with our subsurface, drilling, and project execution experts working closely with Eavor over the past year to enhance the performance envelope and ensure the successful delivery of Loop 1. The insights gained from this next generation of geothermal solutions strengthen OMV\u2019s extensive expertise in geothermal energy. For us, this is a vital part of the energy mix\u2014harnessing Earth\u2019s heat to deliver clean energy, cut emissions, and support cities in achieving their climate targets. With our Strategy 2030 OMV is committed to re-inventing the future of energy.\u201d<\/p>\n
