As part of our annual events, theme 2025 "The Rhine Graben: natural underground resources in Northern Alsace...".
After a short introduction to the museum by Daniel Rodier, who explains the relationship between oil and geothermal energy, the Rittershoffen geothermal power station opens its doors to you. This plant, which has been supplying heat to the Roquette factory since 2016, has already supplied more than 1 Tera Wh of heat, saving the CO2 equivalent of the annual emissions of 40,000 cars.
On site, after a classroom presentation, ÉS geothermal experts will take you on a tour of the plant: production and reinjection wells, distribution circuit and heat exchangers.
Take advantage of this opportunity to learn all about the geology of the Rhine basin, the heat of the local subsoil and the principle of production of this renewable energy!
Guest speaker : Daniel RODIER, museum guide (specialist in the history of Pechelbronn) and Clarisse SIEFERT (geothermal coordinator) and a geothermal expert from ÉS.
RDV and departure from the museum - ADMISSION FEE - Visit reserved for children aged 7 and over.
Reservations required (places are limited). Travel by vehicle from the museum to the sites. Weather permitting, please bring suitable outdoor equipment.
