Geological modeling software will help HITA
increase safety and reliability of sustainable geothermal energy
sources
HITA, a deep geothermal energy company in Belgium, has selected
global software and technology leader Emerson (NYSE: EMR) as a key
technology provider in the discovery and development of geothermal
energy sources in Northern Belgium. Emerson’s geological and
reservoir modeling software will help reduce risk in selecting
locations for renewable geothermal energy projects, increasing the
safety and reliability of construction and operation while enabling
long-term sustainable energy production from the earth’s heat.
Climate change policies are driving growth of geothermal
energy—an industry forecasted to grow as much as eightfold in the
European Union by 2050, according to the International Renewable
Energy Agency. Emerson’s geological modeling software will help
HITA locate the most suitable subsurfaces for drilling deep
geothermal wells to unlock sustainable energy sources for corporate
and municipal use.
“A highly accurate and realistic picture of subsurface geology
is critical for the safe development of sustainable energy
sources,” said Stijn Bos, chief operating officer and senior
project geologist at HITA. “Emerson technologies use seismic,
geologic and other data to generate detailed models that can
determine the best location for geothermal plants.”
Emerson’s SKUA-GOCAD modeling software will help HITA more
easily identify drilling locations by creating highly realistic
models designed for easy interpretation.
“Geological exploration and production software, including
Emerson’s SKUA-GOCAD modeling software, has traditionally been used
in the oil and gas industry. But it’s also well suited for
geothermal energy, as well as carbon capture and storage,” said
Mark Bulanda, executive president of Emerson’s Automation Solutions
business. “Emerson’s advanced, science-based applications will help
move society toward a safer and more sustainable future.”
