Swiss University Gets Grant to Research Into Deep Geothermal Energy (Nanowerk LLC)

ETH Zürich (Courtety ETH) 

ETH Zürich (Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule Zürich), one of the leading international universities for technology and the natural sciences, is to receive ten million Swiss francs from the Werner Siemens Foundation to establish a chair in deep geothermal energy. This will enable ETH Zurich to fulfill its aim of launching an initiative in this promising energy technology without delay.

Deep geothermal energy is regarded as a very promising technology, as it would allow previously unused heat energy from the ground to be tapped. ETH Zurich had decided some time ago to create two chairs in deep geothermal energy underlining its desire to play an active part in shaping Switzerland’s future energy landscape. With a donation of ten million Swiss francs to the ETH Zurich Foundation from the Werner Siemens Foundation, ETH Zurich can take firm steps to press ahead with its geothermal energy strategy by appointing its first chair.
