Urban geothermal energy is the future of clean heating — but it needs smarter sensing to succeed.
At Innoseis ST, we’re making that possible with ultra-sensitive, low-power MEMS seismic sensors engineered for real-world deployment in urban and industrial environments.
Why Urban Geothermal Needs a New Kind of Sensor
Traditional seismic exploration tools are bulky, power-intensive, and difficult to deploy in cities. Urban geothermal surveys demand:
- Compact, non-invasive equipment
- High-resolution imaging in noisy environments
- Rapid deployment with minimal disruption
- Scalable systems to improve data density and reduce risk
That’s where Innoseis ST’s MEMS-based seismic sensors come in.
What Sets Innoseis ST Apart?
Born from gravitational-wave science and proven in large-scale geophysical deployments, Innoseis ST offers a new class of sensors that combine:
- Seismic-grade precision — detect subtle ground movements down to the nano-g level
- Ultra-low noise and exceptional bias stability — even in high-vibration urban areas
- Low power draw — enabling long-duration, remote deployments
- Miniaturised form factor — lightweight enough for backpack-based surveys
- Ready to scale — ideal for dense seismic arrays and automated networks
These features make our MEMS sensors the perfect solution for geothermal exploration in cities, where conventional hardware simply doesn’t fit.
Applications We Power
- Urban seismic surveys
- Geothermal resource mapping

URGENT-Ready: Supporting EU Sustainability Goals
Our technology directly supports projects like the URGENT Project, which is building integrated, low-impact seismic workflows to decarbonize heating systems across Europe. By enabling dense, accurate subsurface imaging — with minimal surface disruption — Innoseis ST helps reduce exploration costs, improve drilling success, and enhance community acceptance.
