Lu-Ve joins €3.4m geothermal research project

Heat exchanger product manufacturer LU-VE Group is to participate in the €3.4m international research project EASYGO – “Efficiency and Safety in Geothermal Operations” which will deal with the development of geothermal electricity production technology.

The project, financed by the European Union under the Horizon 2020 programme represents an important opportunity for the company to deepen its knowledge of new technologies, the use of which allows the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in electricity production. In addition, it will allow LU-VE to further develop its Emeritus technology, a cooling device, patented and developed in collaboration with the Polytechnic University of Milan, that achieves 400 percent higher performance than traditional dry ventilated exchangers, with significant energy saving and noise reduction.

The leader of the project, directed by researcher Maren Brehme, is TU Delft (Delft University of Technology), Netherlands, working alongside three other universities (ETH Zurich, RWTH Aachen and the Polytechnic University of Milan) and 10 international industrial partners, including LU-VE Group.
