Conventional drilling for shallow geothermal energy is time-consuming, energy-intensive and expensive. The disadvantages of conventional drilling can be eliminated with a borehole-integrated drilling robot that drills automatically. With this method it would also be possible to create a digital twin of the borehole, with which the position and direction of the boreholes can be documented for geological purposes. This also includes the different geological layers. In addition, integration with the heat pump can be made much easier. For this idea we are looking for partners who deal with the digitalization of the borehole, or with geothermal probes, or with heat pumps, or with plastic extrusion / plastic processing, gear technology, rubber moulded parts, mud filtering, multi-integrated cables / hoses.
