Germany sees the opening of the country's first geothermal information center, the GEOlife visitor center by the Ueberlandwerk Gross-Gerau GmbH, close to Frankfurt/ Main, Germany.
Earlier this month, Germany saw the opening of the first geothermal visitor center. “Commissioned by the Ueberlandwerk Gross-Gerau GmbH, the GEOlife visitor experience centre offers an in-depth and informative guide into the world of geothermal energy. Visitors will be able to enjoy a „hands-on“ experience, feeling and touching what geothermal energy actually is. Information will describe the processes involved in exploring for geothermal resources, how they are accessed and how, in-turn, these resources are converted into usable energy as electricity and thermal heat.
This real-life experience centre will enable visitors to have a better informed understanding as to what lies beneath our feet, and, of the benefits that this low impact, environmentally friendly renewable energy has to offer.”
