Enerdrape unlocks the geothermal potential of underground spaces

Can you present your company in a few sentences?

Enerdrape is marketing the world's first non-invasive, prefabricated geothermal panel technology. These panels transform existing underground spaces - such as car parks or tunnels - into renewable heat sources for buildings, without the need for drilling. Easy to install, modular and compatible with all heat pumps, they represent a real technological breakthrough for the decarbonisation of cities. Our solution makes geothermal energy accessible where conventional systems cannot be deployed, particularly in dense urban environments.

What will you be presenting at Vivatech?

We will be presenting our geothermal panel, an innovative and practical solution for decarbonising buildings. Our visitors will be able to discover:

• Its quick installation without drilling;
• Its ability to produce renewable heat 24 hours a day;
• Its use in both renovation and new build projects;
• Its modular design adapted to existing urban structures (car parks, tunnels, stations);
• Its measurable impact on CO₂ emissions.

This will also be an opportunity to present the use case carried out in Paris with our partner CIEC (ENGIE Solutions) on a Paris Habitat site.

What do you expect from Viva Technology?

Our aim is to bring this innovation to an international, multi-sector audience. We want to demonstrate that Enerdrape is not just a technological innovation, but a tried and tested solution that works. The pilot project in Paris illustrates our ability to support the energy transition rapidly, tangibly and sustainably. We also hope to forge new partnerships, particularly in the property, energy and mobility sectors, to accelerate our deployment in France and abroad.

What’s your next challenge?

Our main challenge is to overcome the novelty effect and make Enerdrape a reflex in the collective imagination: an "obvious" solution for harnessing the thermal energy of underground structures. This means further industrialising our solution, strengthening our network of installer partners, and removing the final barriers to widespread adoption (regulatory, logistical, economic).

What question would you have liked me to ask you?

"What is your vision for the future of district heating?”

We firmly believe that a sustainable future depends on diversifying renewable heat sources and integrating them into existing systems. Just as solar panels have revolutionised access to green electricity, our geothermal panels have the potential to become the new standard for district heating. We're aiming for a world where every underground infrastructure becomes a well of green energy, contributing to a more resilient, self-sufficient and decarbonised city.

Visit the ENGIE stand (J39) at Porte de Versailles in Paris from 11 to 14 June to discover Enerdrape and many other innovative solutions that make ENGIE the leader in energy transition.
