Three-tier
Business model
We developed this asset-light model to solve a fundamental challenge in deep geothermal.
While AGS technology is universal in principle, its deployment is inherently local. Every project must align with regional geology, permitting frameworks, stakeholder landscapes, and energy market dynamics.
Turning our technology into local energy infrastructure
By working through PMCs, we:
Each PMC is responsible for planning, permitting, and execution of AGS projects, with full access to EAPOSYS tools (EAPOSIM, EAPOFIN), engineering support, and system design. This structure allows EAPOSYS to remain capital-efficient and globally scalable while ensuring that AGS deployments are regionally viable, bankable, and socially anchored.
Switzerland Must Almost Triple
Its Renewable Heat
Heat represents one of Switzerland’s largest untapped decarbonization markets.
Renewable heat supply must grow from 103 PJ to 287 PJ by 2050. Around one third of this market is low-grade heat that can be supplied by AGS.

Low-grade, high-density heat: Where AGS can deliver
SwissDGS is building the path to bring deep geothermal into the mix
AGS is particularly suited to locations where significant heat demand is concentrated: from district heating networks and industrial processes to large-scale greenhouses.
From Market Potential to Project Deployment
SwissDGS is EAPOSYS’ commercial deployment platform for Switzerland.
Founded in 2024 by EAPOSYS, Amberg Group and Basler & Hofmann, SwissDGS brings together AGS technology, underground infrastructure expertise and multidisciplinary engineering capabilities within a dedicated project development platform.
Its objective is to identify, develop and deliver closed-loop deep geothermal projects across Switzerland.
brings together EAPOSYS, Basler & Hofmann and Amberg Group around a shared ambition: developing and delivering Advanced Geothermal Systems in Switzerland.

From Swiss innovation to North American field deployment.
EAPOSYS Canada leads EAPOSYS’s development, partnerships and technology deployment across North America. Established in Calgary in 2024, the Canadian operation connects EAPOSYS’s advanced closed-loop geothermal technology with Canada’s deep expertise in drilling, subsurface engineering and energy project execution.
THREE PILLARS
DEMONSTRATE
Advance EAPOSYS technology from engineering and simulation toward field validation in real geothermal wells.
COLLABORATE
Work with Canadian drilling, completion and project-development leaders to solve shared commercialization barriers.
BUILD THE ECOSYSTEM
Strengthen Canada’s geothermal innovation ecosystem through industry leadership, knowledge sharing and global engagement.
Featured project
Latitude 53
Validating the technologies needed to drill geothermal deeper, hotter and more reliably.
Near Hinton, Alberta, EAPOSYS and Canadian industry partners are developing an integrated technology demonstration at Novus Earth’s Latitude 53 site. The Latitude 53 Geothermal Drilling Accelerator is designed as a common field platform for validating multiple next-generation drilling and completion technologies; reducing duplication, accelerating learnings and helping de-risk commercial geothermal deployment.
For EAPOSYS, the objective is to field-validate a new ranging protocol developed to improve well-to-well intersection speed at depths of 2–5 km. Reliable deep intersection is an enabling capability for EAPOSYS’s advanced closed-loop geothermal architecture.
EAPOSYS Canada is actively helping build connections across Canada’s emerging geothermal industry. Stephanie Vetsch serves as Director of Communications for the Canadian Geothermal Industry Alliance (CGIA), a collaboration of emerging Canadian geothermal players working to leverage Canada’s drilling, subsurface, engineering and technology-commercialization expertise to strengthen Canada’s role in the global geothermal industry.
Through the CGIA, EAPOSYS participates in industry engagement, knowledge sharing and international collaboration, including the Canadian geothermal community’s presence at the 2026 World Geothermal Congress in Calgary.
Partners
Latitude 53 brings together complementary Canadian capabilities: Novus Earth as host project developer; EAPOSYS for deep well ranging and intersection; Pro-Pipe for insulated casing; and TerraFerno for high-temperature completion technologies.
