We are your forum for practical exchange and networking on Bavarian deep geothermal energy.
Together with representatives from operations, industry, business, politics and science, we discuss the latest issues relating to the optimal implementation of geothermal projects every year. From technical challenges and innovations such as AI to the open exchange of experiences from project development and operation, the Praxisforum offers the ideal platform.
You too can become part of our Bavarian “geothermal class meeting” - whether as a participant, speaker, exhibitor or sponsor.
If there are enough registrations, the congress will be simultaneously translated.
Koordinationsstelle Tiefengeothermie Bayern
Would you like to actively promote the heat transition in Bavaria and are you considering deep geothermal energy? The Koordinationsstelle Tiefengeothermie Bayern is your central point of contact. As an independent institution financed by the Free State of Bavaria, we offer you everything from initial contact and further information to an initial assessment of the potential for deep geothermal energy and heat supply.
Program
The Career Forum is our event for students. In addition to a series of short presentations, we invite participants to network with our sponsors and exhibitors, as well as join an excursion to the geothermal plant operated by IEP in Pullach. We’ll wrap up the day with a shared drink at IsarBräu.
The Career Forum is supported by Innovative Energie für Pullach (IEP).

Daldrup & Söhne AG, der führende Anbieter von Bohr- und Umweltdienstleistungen in Deutschland, hat eine EU-weite Ausschreibung für sieben Geothermiebohrungen im oberbayerischen Pullach gewonnen. Für Daldrup ist es das größte Einzelprojekt der Unternehmensgeschichte. Der voraussichtliche Auftragswert wird laut Daldrup im oberen zweistelligen Millionen-Euro-Bereich liegen. Starten sollen die Arbeiten, wenn die geplante staatlich geförderte Fündigkeitsversicherung in Kraft tritt, die eine finanzielle Absicherung für Geothermieprojekte schaffen soll.

Die Wärmewende bei Daimler Truck nimmt Fahrt auf, nicht nur auf der Straße, sondern auch in der Produktion. Neben der Dekarbonisierung des Verkehrs setzt Daimler Truck zunehmend auf eine ressourcenschonende, klimafreundliche Wärmeversorgung. Ein möglicher Gamechanger: Die Tiefe Geothermie. Sie könnte künftig bis zu 90 Prozent des Wärmebedarfs am größten Produktionsstandort des Unternehmens in Wörth decken. In einem Interview sprechen Jörg Howe, Leiter Global Communications & External Affair bei Daimler Truck, und der Geologe Dr. Thomas Kölbel, wie die Wärmewende funktionieren soll.
