On 25 May 2011, the Federal Council of Switzerland decided a slow phase-‐out of nuclear power by not extending running times or building new power plants. The first nuclear power plant will stop running in 2019, the last in 2034.

A nuclear power phase-‐out is the discontinuation of usage of nuclear power for energy production. Often initiated because of concerns about nuclear power, phase-‐outs usually include shutting down nuclear power plants and looking towards renewable energy and other fuels. Austria was the first country to begin a phase-‐out (in 1978) and has been followed by Sweden (1980), Italy (1987), Belgium (1999), and Germany (2000). Austria and Spain have gone as far as to enact laws not to build new nuclear power stations. Several other European countries have debated phase-‐outs. As of June 2011, Germany and Switzerland are phasing-‐out nuclear power. As of June 2011, countries such as Australia, Austria, Denmark, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Malta, Portugal, Israel, Malaysia, New Zealand, and Norway remain opposed to nuclear power.

¡  The state of art III generation of renewable geothermic energy technology could truly revolutionize the way energy is produced around the world for a fraction of the cost of what we all pay for electricity now.

¡  There are zero emissions, zero heat loss to atmosphere, and this energy can last indefinitely into the future with no damage to local or larger ecosystems. It is called "Geothermic Energy" and is considered as enhancement of “Geothermal Energy” resources. It uses the deep crust (lithosphere) heat.

¡  Switzerland can become first and leading country in the world replacing 100% of its nuclear power plants capacity with green renewable energy, free from CO2 emission, independent from oil, gas, coal and nuclear waste…

¡  Technology is available and proven-‐ decision is yours…


¡  Switzerland is looking at geothermal power to replace its nuclear power supply. The first project is located in St. Gallen, but a larger project is planned to tap geothermal resources for power generation at depths of 10,000 meters.

¡  Several news here on ThinkGeoEnergy have maybe given an indication that Switzerland is looking at ways to replace its dependence on nuclear power. The option that is thereby looked at in particular is geothermal power. Currently the country derives about 40% of its electricity from nuclear power and just decided to completely leave nuclear behind.

¡  Reported by Swiss television, geothermal heat from a 10km deep well and 15 wells planned in the next few years show that municipality utilities, engineers and the federal state of Switzerland are planning big geothermal power stations.

¡  In the article, it describes one project that is expected to drill to a depth of 10 km reaching temperatures of 300 centigrades, which could then replace a complete nuclear power station. This project would cost around Swiss Franc 6 billion ($6.5 billion). The project is currently being financially supported in its first phase by the large municipal utilities.

¡  The country expects that about 15 wells need to be drilled for smaller plants. There are though more sufficient funds needed to build those. For the near term CHF500-‐700 million would be needed, but so far the country has only spent around CHF1 million per year. This is far from sufficient.

¡  So far development in Switzerland was not successful. Two years ago a project in Zuerich didn’t find sufficient water and drilling in Basel was stopped following an earthquake and related damages to buildings.

¡  The project that everybody now looks at is the one in St. Gallen. In the beginning of next year, drilling from a drilling pad currently being prepared is to reach depths of 4,000 meters.

¡  Engineers involved in the project hope to find the same source of thermal water, which already provides projects in Germany with sufficient supply for geothermal power plants.

¡  The article includes a good video that looks at Switzerland, but also the project in Unterhaching, close to Munich in German. (in German)

¡  In long run Switzerland will become first country in the world free from CO2 emission and nuclear fuel and waste in low cost heat and electricity production, independent from oil, gas, coal and nuclear waste.

¡  In 1st completion of the project for 1640 MWe on yearly basis equivalent of 66 million barrels of crude oil will be saved.

¡  In terms of budget income (at 40USD per barrel price) it means 2.64 billion USD extra revenues per year

¡  In terms of human capital Switzelrand will have local generation of engineers and miners specialized in geothermic and deep drillings.

¡  Joining hands with Professor Zakiewicz team will allow Swiss engineers to benefit from his 348 know-‐how and patents in the field of mining, agriculture, construction, hydrocarbon, sulfur and hydrology and his vast over 60 years field experience and then spread the word all over the world.


¡  To provide local population with sustainable, clean, Co2 –emission free, renewable electricity and heat based on geothermic heat without dependence on oil, gas, coal and nuclear waste


¡  To build and operate fully independent Geothermic Multipoint Power Complex in Switzerland with total capacity of 1640 Mwe within next 10 years replacing 50% of the total nculearl power capacity.


¡  The Project is to build and in some cases operate renewable geothermic multi point power plant complex in Switzerland with total capacity of 100 MWe within next 5 years. In next 10 years the target is to achieve 1640 Mwe which is 50% of the total nuclear power capacity installed at present day in Switzerland.

¡  In first two years the focus will be on delivering 30 MWe of capacity in 6 different locations. Those locations are pre-‐approved by local government and available for Consiliary Partners immediately. According to Swiss Law any green energy produced should be bought by local government at pre-‐agreed price very attractive in comparison to other countries.

¡  The projected budget for construction and equipment in total is ca 5 billion EU for 1640 MWe capacity and 400 million EURO for 100 MWe capacity.

¡  Geothermal energy, defined as heat from the Earth, is a statute-‐recognized renewable resource.

¡  The first Geothermal Plant was build in Italy in 1904 – woking till now.

¡  In case of our project in Swiss within next 3 years we will be able to produce electricity 700% cheaper then Italian plant...

Prince Piero Ginori Conti invented the first geothermal power plant in 1904, at the Larderello dry steam field in Italy.


¡  The first geothermal power plants in the U.S. were built in 1962 at The Geysers dry steam field, in northern California. It is still the largest producing geothermal field in the world.

¡  The United States, as the world’s largest producer of geothermal electricity, generates an average of 15 billion kilowatt hours of power per year, comparable to burning close to 25 million barrels of oil or 6 million short tons of coal per year.


In case of our project in Swiss within next 5 years we will be able to save on burning of over 66 millions barrels of oil per year

In the heat exchanger, heat is transferred from the geothermal water to a second liquid. The geothermal water is never exposed to the air and is injected back into the periphery of the reservoir.


¡  This power plant provides about 25% of the electricity used on the Big Island of Hawaii. It is a hybrid binary and flash plant.


¡  Our project conistst of 5 main technologies:

§  Drillling §  Piping §  Heat Exchanging §  Steam Production §  Electricity Production from Steam

¡  All these technologies were tested and implemented in several projects worldwide except efficient and fast deep drilling till 2009

¡  90% of the success of the Project depends on drilling. ¡  Our Leader and his team drilled more then 6000 wells worldwide ¡  Breakthrough – 2009 -‐ We have full documentation of drilling over 9000

m within 28 days at cost of 1/10 of oil drilling in USA – it was done by our technology team in 2009 in 5 different locations in USA


¡  Our technology was awarded with highest International Diamond Business & Technology OSCARS in Paris 2007 and in New York 2009. It is the only project and technology Nominated to Nobel Prize.

¡  The best known technology and materials will be used subject to external contractor proposal and our approval. 13 patents and know-‐how owned by Professor B. Zakiewicz will be used in this project.

¡  Project incorporates Five Packages of Technologies, which are coherently supporting each other, for extracting plutonic heat from rocky formations and utilize it thoroughly to be beneficial for the nation.

¡  The project plan is linear in nature thus assuring consecutive tasks to take full advantage of the results of previous tasks. The project execution is divided into three phases (or budget periods), each culminating with a review of the accomplished progress, and a Go/No-‐Go decision. The technical tasks of the project parallel this approach, with major benchmarks being the key focus of each task. The overall goal of the proposed project is to demonstrate the viability of the novel, disruptive technology of closed-‐loop, deep geothermic heat harvesting.

¡  Successful achievement of project objectives will validate a transformative technology that will §  represent a breakthrough in EGS technology. The proposed heat harvesting technology will have the

following attributes: §  sustainability, §  no associated adverse environmental effects, §  cost-‐competitive with conventional fossil fuel generating alternatives, §  wide spread applicability since reservoir creation is not required, §  immediate impact since off-‐the-‐shell drilling and power generation technology is utilized, and §  will stimulate large-‐scale employment and economic development through the availability of abundant,

cost-‐competitive energy.

¡  Complex extraction of thermal energy for production of inexpensive electrical energy from the resources of warm Geothermal water pools with use of the heat exchangers (BZ-‐6) (what means without recycling end exchanging of the pumped mineral water), and major extraction of the dry high temperature geo-‐plutonic heat, with use of the thermal heat exchangers (BZ-‐7). Acceleration of the pressure required for the turbine is accomplished with use of binary system and pumping of recycling liquid with impeller free pumps. Both energy systems are cooperating with the community heating systems and/or desalinization of the sea waters (important for the arid zones of the countries closed to the sea shore). Desalinization is performed based on the waste heat coming out of turbines. The newest technology for drilling inclined or semi horizontal deep highly efficient of exchangers BZ-‐6 in geothermal aquifer. The newest technology for drilling production boreholes to the depths of 10,000 within 30 days. Highly efficient enhancement of the heat transmission from the rocky massif to the Geo-‐Plutonic heat exchangers BZ-‐7. CapEx of the mining energy production plant 1,900,000 E/MWh. Energy production cost 0,02 E/kWh. ROI 2,5 year with a dividend of 50%.
