Arverne Group Contributes to the Development of Innovative Technologies for Shallow Geothermal Installations

PAU, France--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Regulatory News:

Arverne Group (FR001400JWR8 - ARVEN), an industrial player specializing in the production of renewable underground resources, announces the launch of operations to test an innovative technology for shallow geothermal energy, as part of ADEME¹'s “Energie Durable” call for research projects won by its subsidiary DrillHeat.

This project, coordinated by BRGM² and supported also by AFPG³, aims to improve geothermal probe installation techniques and the quality of vertical geothermal probe cementing, through the use of resistant cementing socks. This new product, developed by French geotextile manufacturer CHAB, will be tested in real-life conditions at BRGM's geothermal platform in Orléans. Arverne Group has begun work on two campaigns whose cementing monitoring data will be collected and analyzed by BRGM.

“We are delighted to be running out this research and development program, which is designed to advance the industry's practices. The targeted benefits of this innovative technique are both environmental, by reducing the quantity of material, and socio-economic, by facilitating the work of our teams and ultimately the entire industry. The development of shallow geothermal energy is essential to achieving our ambitions of decarbonizing commercial, collective and individual buildings, and diversifying France's energy mix,” says Pierre Brossollet, founder and CEO of Arverne Group.
