SKZ Plastics Center Develops Efficient Geothermal Probes Using Nanotechnology in Germany
The SKZ Plastics Center is spearheading the 'EWS.MWCNT' project in Germany to develop geothermal probes using multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) for improved heat conduction. In collaboration with several institutions, the initiative aims to enhance the efficiency and sustainability of near-surface geothermal energy by reducing drilling depth and material use by up to 20%. Funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy, the project also explores applications in drinking water supply and seeks to boost market acceptance of innovative geothermal technologies.

The SKZ Plastics Center is leading the 'EWS.MWCNT' project to develop geothermal probes utilizing multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) to enhance heat conduction. Collaborating with Gerodur MPM Kunststoffverarbeitung GmbH & Co.
KG, Friedrich-Alexander University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, and Laus GmbH under the 'NanoGeoTherm' network, the project aims to improve the efficiency and sustainability of near-surface geothermal energy. The initiative seeks to reduce drilling depth and material use by up to 20%, while ensuring compliance with safety standards. The project, funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy from December 1, 2024, to May 31, 2027, also explores the potential application of the new pipes in drinking water supply and aims to enhance the market acceptance of innovative geothermal technologies.
