The project aims to explore the possibilities of geothermal energy extraction in the area surrounding the town.
If proven feasible, a geothermal plant will be set up to supply the Daimler Truck plant in Woerth.
The surplus 10% of energy produced by the plant will be used for Woerth's heating networks, the company said in a statement.
Geothermal power, energy extracted from the earth, does not produce emissions during production, similar to other forms of renewables.
