Grounded in Geothermal Expertise
We work to minimize site disturbance, and protect the ecological and thermal integrity of the soil for decades to come - working in balance with the earth's natural cycles.
The ground is an essential component in our systems, so we focus on better understand it and work with it.
This includes partnering with soil experts and contributing to research about the complex functions of the ground.
Our Mission
Our mission is to support the sustainable development of our world by developing innovative ways to increase the use and adoption of renewable thermal energy systems.
By reconnecting with the earth to provide a source of clean and renewable heating and cooling we can not only help the environment but also support the local economies and improve housing affordability in the regions we work in.
Our Mission is guided by the following UN Sustainability Goals:
Goal 7
Affordable and Clean Energy
In recent years there has been significant advances in the use of renewable energy for electricity generation. However, over the same time there has been little advancement in the use of renewable thermal energy sources for heating and cooling. We seek to change this.
Goal 8
Decent Work and Economic Growth
Geothermal heating and cooling, being right under your feet, is as local a source of energy as it gets. By seeking to work with local partners and suppliers, we can support the local economies directly within the communities we work in.
Goal 11
Sustainable Cities and Communities
The world is becoming increasingly urbanized and with it the need to build new urban infrastructure and repair old urban infrastructure is constant. By focusing our efforts to support the construction of renewable thermal energy infrastructure, we can support the sustainable development of our cities and communities for generations.
Goal 13
Climate Action
Climate change is affecting every country on every continent, in fact the preceding decade (2010-2019) was the warmest decade ever recorded. Urgent action is needed and this drives our focus.
Goal 17
Partnerships
We know we need help to achieve our mission so we are constantly seeking to work with partners in all facets of our business that share our goals.
