Switzerland: Second Phase of Exploratory Drilling Underway at Geneva Geothermal District Heating Project

Genève veut se chauffer à la géothermie - Geneva wants to heat itself with geothermal energy (Le Messager)

L’État de Genève et les Services industriels de Genève (SIG) démarrent un deuxième forage exploratoire qui descendra jusqu’à 1 130 mètres, à Lully (commune de Bernex). Le premier forage exploratoire s’était fait à Satigny. Celui de Lully, un des plus profonds jamais creusés à Genève, est réalisé dans le cadre du programme GEothermie 2020. Il a pour but de contribuer à atteindre les objectifs fixés par le canton de Genève en matière d’énergie thermique.
