Eavor Technologies

Eavor Technologies Inc. (/ˈɛvər/ EV-ər) is a global geothermal technology company headquartered in Calgary, Alberta. The firm was founded in 2017 with the goal of producing a scalable form of baseload energy.

The main difference between traditional geothermal and Eavor-Loop™ is scalability. Traditional geothermal energy systems rely on specific geological conditions, such as the presence of naturally occurring hot underground aquifers, to extract heat for energy generation. These conditions are relatively rare, limiting the global applicability of traditional geothermal technology. The Eavor-Loop™, in contrast, is an Advanced Geothermal System (AGS), or a closed-loop system, designed to operate independently of such geological constraints, offering the potential for broader scalability in diverse locations.

A report by the International Energy Agency (IEA) describes these advancements as innovative next-generation geothermal technologies due to their reservoir-independent approach. These technologies have the potential to expand geothermal power generation and direct-use heating to regions where conventional geothermal resources are unavailable.
