- Enerdrape has developed and commercialized the world’s first non-invasive geothermal panel technology, transforming underground structures such as parking garages into renewable energy sources without the need for drilling.
- The solution captures geothermal and residual heat to deliver low-carbon, cost-effective thermal energy with minimal disruption and easier retrofit potential, addressing a key barrier to urban decarbonization in dense environments.
- The company’s ambition is to make underground spaces a standard source of renewable energy worldwide, much like solar panels have become for rooftops.
We believe the energy transition starts beneath our feet. By transforming underground spaces into renewable energy sources, Enerdrape helps cities to decarbonize at scale, turning existing infrastructure into a powerful, accessible solution for sustainable heating and cooling.
- Enerdrape’s innovation and impact have been recognized through leading international innovation and sustainability initiatives, including the Venture Award, the AMAG Sustainability Challenge (2024), the ODDO BHF Young Entrepreneurs Award (2025), and inclusion in the Swiss Top 100 Startups ranking.
- Margaux Peltier, Co-Founder and CEO of Enerdrape, has led the company from academic research at EPFL to an industrialized solution, raising funding and delivering projects across Switzerland, France, and the United States.
- With a background in civil engineering and geo-energy systems, Margaux is driving a vision to make underground energy a global standard, accelerating the aim to accelerate the decarbonization of buildings at scale, reduce dependence on fossil fuels, and contribute to more resilient and energy-efficient cities.
