Goals of the gebo research association

The superior goal of the gebo research association is to improve the technology of geothermal energy production in order to allow an efficient and economical use of this renewable energy source in Lower Saxony, Germany.

The geological conditions in Lower Saxony and the amount of energy needed make it necessary to drill very deep. Therefore, new methods of combined geological-geophysical exploration and characterization of the geothermal reservoir, as well as the development of new drilling techniques are necessary. New materials and electronic components that reliably work under very high temperature conditions are also in the focus of our research within gebo.
