Feasibility and consultancy:
Tailored analysis and expert assessment designed to elevate the project's geothermal potential
Well construction
Well integrity and efficiency through advanced engineering
Surface facilities:
Development and construction of all necessary infrastructure for energy production and distribution
Project management:
Structured planning and execution to deliver consistent results and long-term value

Innovation and sustainability

Saipem strategically fosters synergies with other key areas within the decarbonisation pathways.

 

The hybridisation of close-to-market projects and technologies, such as the integration of CO₂ capture systems with low- to medium-enthalpy geothermal energy, plays a pivotal role in accelerating decarbonisation.

 

Bluenzyme™, Saipem’s proprietary enzymatic carbon capture solution, tackles this challenge by leveraging low- to medium-geothermal energy as a process energy source. It is engineered to utilise low-grade residual heat sources, thereby enhancing the sustainability of carbon capture and storage, while supporting the transition to net-zero emissions.

Looking forward

Our research and development activities focus on contributing to global decarbonisation efforts by working on four fronts:

1) Recovering valuable minerals from geothermal brines
2) Repurposing abandoned oil & gas wells for geothermal energy production
3) Developing closed-loop systems for exploiting geothermal resources without extraction

4) Tailored feasibility assessment of offshore geothermal developments

Our commitment to innovation and sustainability positions us as a trusted partner for organisations seeking reliable, renewable energy solutions.
