I like how during the explanation, the narrator had this softspoken and nice tone to it... and then there at the end the hype was real. "Energy. For. Ever!" It felt like an awesome epic movie trailer XD

This just might be the catalyst to start a green revolution and impact the environment all around the world. What a genius endeavor.

You know Theranos and FTX scammed billions, and did it by getting swaths of the public to cheer instead of applying healthy skepticism. Make no mistake, you’re one of those people making the scams possible.

Great video. As a Drilling Engineer, there is now no excuse for Big O&G companies to pivot to this cleaner industry. The technology available now in Drilling and on Geophysics can now be used successfully. Question: Are the navigating tools required to drill deeper and hotter wells resistant enough ?

[@iamlugay]

This must be the best marketing & engineering video I have seen so far concerning renewable energy solutions. I subscribe to Eavor

[@gehrigornelas6317]

Great tech and great video. I hope it takes off. We need to expand all of the low carbon energy families: solar, wind, hydro, nuclear, bioenergy, and geothermal. Geothermal has some of the most potential with the fewest drawbacks. Fingers crossed for rapid success.

[@WorldwideWelshman]

game changer! genius technology, hope it gets rolled out asap. You could calculate how much power a district/facility is using, and building an eavorloop of equivalent generating capacity next to it. And when a new development is planned, the energy generation and transmission infrastructure should be installed along side it. Also, a LOT of electricity is needed to create drop-in synthetic fuel. Perhaps a particularly large scale eavorloop paired with other renewavles could used to produce synthetic fuel at the site where it is needed. At airports for example.

[@pariss1445]

Hope this turns into a viable reality. Thanks and good luck.

Iceland makes a good proof of concept for geothermal, as does the geysers facility in the US. new concepts make geothermal even more viable over more of the planet. great video, ocean sea currents are another good base load source.

1-What temperatures are possible to achieve? is possible to run on Ultra-supercritical steam conditions? 2-What kind of heat transfer fluid would be usable at those temperatures? stuff like water gets corrosive at those conditions 3-How do you keep the inside of the tubes clean and uncorroded?

[@danhamilton5010]

I'm going to say the fluid is a a glycol based fluid seeing it's not directly the source of steam as it goes through the heat exchanger then a water based solution will be used to create the stream pushing the turbine. Glycols have a fairly high boiling point and hold heat really well and would be the most cost effective solution IMO

[@ronblack7870]

the temp of the rock is about 200 C at 4 km deep. so they do not do supercritical. they use the hot working fluid to heat another fluid not water to turn a turbine in a closed loop system. something like propane for intsnace

[@Nill757]

If we look after the percentage of environmental impact due to renewable energy sources, AGS comes with a minimal percentage.

[@platin2148]

AGS is the fracking based one? That isn’t a option.

[@chidiekeji7430]

I'm curious about the integrity of the ground underneath these facilities if we're creating various 'pockets" of permeable substrata.

[@ronblack7870]

the pipes are lined so the working fluid never touches the actual rock. it's not fracking.

[@lifetrees1]

Good stuff 👍

[@philipwong895]

The Earth's magnetic field is generated by the geodynamo process in the outer core, driven by the combination of heat sources and the Earth's rotation. This magnetic field forms a protective shield, the magnetosphere, which plays a key role in preventing the stripping away of the Earth's atmosphere by the solar wind. We should be very careful doing anything that could cause changes in the earth's outer core, crust or accelerate the transfer of heat from the core to the surface.

[@radboudp]

Maybe you can team up with GA Drilling or Quaise Energy to reach even deeper and hotter places.

[@gurumage9555]

It looks very promising for uninterrupted renewable energy generation. I have a couple of questions: With mass scale and prolonged periods of extracting heat from the earth's interior affect the earth's magnetic field generation in the near future? And also any effects on earth's microbiome and fungal networks of mycelium? Thank you very much.

No numbers, which indicates that Eavor knows that the numbers would be embarrassing.

[@christopherschifflechner3003]

While there are no numbers in the video, you can find several numbers e.g. on the Audit report by TNO on the Eavor technology. Also, there is available information on the planned Eavor project in Geretsried (Germany). Thus, you can easily evaluate these numbers by yourself. Personally, I would call the numbers anything but embarrassing.

[@THEScottCampbell]

Geothermal isn't "renewable". It's better. It's virtually infinite and now affordable. It's a crime that it isn't used more already. The fact that it can now be used to retrofit existing power plants means we should be creating these systems as fast and as much as humanly possible.

[@Nill757]

Not affordable.

[@StraussBR]

Why do you need air coolers? Isnt that wasting energy?

[@renacimientoargentino7515]

Is a condenser, you need it to make the steam from the turbine outlet into water again and that takes cooling.

[@pauleohl]

Thermodynamics: A heat engine must reject heat to make mechanical power. Here is an example. You have hot high pressure steam and you want to use it to turn a turbine. You can either let the steam exhaust to atmosphere, in which case the expanding steam is still hot when you discard it or you can have a condenser on the output of the turbine. Low pressure steam gives up its heat to the water or air that cools the condenser and you have still rejected heat. No way to get around this law. It is called the Second Law of Thermodynamics.

doesn't use steam but a different fluid that turns to gas. propane for instance.

Given the effectiveness of heat exchangers in surface thermal systems, built with thousands of small diameter tubes, it seems unlikely the described system is viable. What’s the Q dot of this single fluid heat exchanger? To compete with the energy production of a middling gas well, a traditional open loop geothermal system must have dozens of large diameter wells moving through rock, producing energy 24/7, like the gas well, at some -400C to be thermodynamically viable, and at least be competitive corrected for a carbon tax. So, traditional geo is expensive to drill, and risky to find suitable rock. Yet at least an open loop has good heat transfer w good rock. A few 4” long distance drill pipes will not. That hot rock temperature is also not scalable as claimed, ie not found “everywhere.” Rather it’s available in geothermal hot spots bringing hot rock close to the surface, as at the Geysers plant in CA or Iceland. Last, the notion of stopping hot water flow to produce only when needed is not an economic feature. Reducing power hours against a given capital investment lowers ROÍ, and EROEI, every time.

[@billblood5316]

I don't understand this statement: "Given the effectiveness of heat exchangers in surface thermal systems, built with thousands of small diameter tubes, it seems unlikely the described system is viable"

[@ronblack7870]

you just don't understand what their system does. the pilot plant has been running since 2019 and successful. they have BP and chevron as investors as well. their system doesn't need the " right type of rock" . if you drill down 4 -5 km you get hot rock everywhere.

[@Nill757]

@@ronblack7870 yes I know deep rock is hot. Also, deep drilling is expensive, especially when it’s risky to find the right kind of rock, esp with high volume of water that needs to flow for economic geothermal meaning either large diameter wells or many, many wells. I gave several details why this tech is unproven, w no response. Saying they have money from X proves nothing. Tossing out that x and y are investors needs to stop claiming to be evidence of anything. This is the age of Theranos, of Nikola. Everybody was in on Theranos which was BS. GM was in on Nikola, the BS hydrogen truck company. Big investors don’t care, it’s pays just to get PR that they’re helping to fund the “future”, even a bs future.

@@billblood5316 large power heat exchangers require a lot of pipe surface area. That means hundreds of small diameter pipes in power plant heat exchangers on the surface. Building the same system 4km down seems unlikely.
