Two recent workshops in Florence, co-organised by the University of Florence and University of Vaasa, brought together stakeholders and citizens to explore social and business perspectives on closed-loop geothermal energy within the HOCLOOP project.
Hung Pham from Technische Universität Darmstadt shares how the HOCLOOP project is testing seasonal heat storage and fast-tracking geothermal innovation from lab to market.
In our interview series, Jouni Juntunen from the University of Vaasa shares insights on how public perception shapes the success of geothermal innovation like HOCLOOP.
Meet Paweł Wojnarowski from AGH University of Krakow, who brings reservoir engineering expertise to HOCLOOP. His work supports lab testing, site analysis in Poland, and industrial applications of geothermal heat.
Senior researcher Virginie Harcouët-Menou from VITO shares how the HOCLOOP project is opening new possibilities for geothermal energy across Europe—especially in regions lacking natural reservoirs.
Meet Martina Zucci from the University of Bari, whose work on geological structures helps optimize geothermal heat extraction in HOCLOOP. Her research ensures the project’s solutions work across diverse underground conditions.
Meet Mona Enell-Nilsson from the University of Vaasa, who leads HOCLOOP’s work on social acceptance of geothermal energy. Her research helps connect innovative technology with the people and communities it aims to serve.
We’re excited to present the official HOCLOOP project video, showcasing how our cutting-edge closed-loop geothermal technology is paving the way for a sustainable energy future.
The HOCLOOP General Assembly held in Stavanger brought partners together to assess progress, align upcoming work, and highlight the pilot test of the project’s closed-loop geothermal solution.
The HOCLOOP Project was featured at the 85th EAGE Annual Conference, held in Oslo, which brought together global experts in geoscience and engineering to discuss sustainable energy solutions. This prestigious event provided a platform for sharing insights and advancing the dialogue on innovative geothermal technologies.
