Description

What are the distinctions between different geothermal systems? Why does OMV have to drill several kilometers deep for geothermal energy if geothermal heat can also be harvested several hundred meters deep? Is it necessary to establish new drilling sites every time, or is it possible to drill at existing locations?  In this episode our host and journalist Steve Chaid is joined by two special guests to help us explore the depths of this topic: Nina Romich, project expert on low carbon business at OMV and Johannes Ettl, senior project manager for well construction at OMV.   More about OMV: https://www.omv.com/en/about-us OMV’s Sustainability Target & Commitments: https://www.omv.com/en/sustainability/our-approach/targets-commitments Geothermal energy at OMV: Geothermal energy | Environmentally Friendly Energy | OMV.com OMV Blog on geothermal energy:  https://www.omv.com/en/blog/geothermal-energy-energy-from-the-subsurface Follow OMV on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/omv Follow OMV Blog: https://blog.omv.com Follow OMV on Instagram: https://instagram.com/omv Follow OMV on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/omv Follow OMV on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/omv Follow OMV on Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/omv
