Geothermic Solution Welcomes Hans-Christian Freitag as Senior Vice President of Business Development

October 25, 2022 01:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time PALO ALTO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Geothermic Solution, Inc. (GSL), a leader in environmentally-friendly geothermal-harnessing technology, has named Hans-Christian Freitag its new Senior Vice President of Business Development. In this role, Freitag will focus on promoting GSL's proprietary, enhanced closed-loop geothermal technology to new customers and industry partners in the global thermal energy market.

Freitag brings more than 30 years of energy technology, business development, and executive management experience to the new role. He comes to GSL from Baker Hughes, where he was most recently Vice President of Intelligent Software Solutions. Previously, he led the company's global team of subsurface experts as Vice President of Geoscience and Petroleum Engineering.

Freitag holds a bachelor's degree in physics from University of Technology, Berlin and a master's degree in geophysics from University of Technology, Clausthal.

Freitag's technical experience adds to GSL's broad functional expertise across the geothermal value chain, which also includes advanced drilling techniques, enhanced heat flow processes, pipe-in-pipe/closed loop systems, and aboveground applications that leverage GeoHeat for heating and power generation.

With megawatt (MW)-scale pilot projects in the preparation stages, GeoHeat is ready for commercial-scale implementation. The closed-loop technology will enable high-efficiency extraction of energy from super-hot geologic formations in almost any area worldwide—at a fraction of the cost and water demands of conventional geothermal techniques.

'We are delighted to add another experienced and savvy professional to our rapidly growing GeoHeat harvesting team,' said Dr. Piotr Moncarz, NAE, president and CEO of GSL.

'I am delighted to join Geothermic Solution's dynamic and innovative team,' said Freitag.
