Recently the state of Virginia passed a bill that will allow geothermal heat pump owners to sell Renewable Energy Certificates (REC) to utility companies. As a result, this will significantly reduce ...

For the past two years, a geothermal heat pump has been heating and cooling my home while helping me achieve ambitious energy ...

Geothermal energy pumps are a cost-effective heating and cooling solution that can offer some major benefits for building owners wanting to make their property a little more green. Over time, a ...

DIGGING IN: (1) A “vertical loopfield†geothermal system installation begins with drilling down into the ground. Large commercial buildings tend to use vertical loopfields due to lack of space. (2) ...

Along with earthworms, rocks, and the occasional skeleton, there’s a massive battery right under your feet. Unlike a flammable lithium ion battery, though, this one is perfectly stable, free to use, ...

Heat pumps, which transfer heat from one environment to another to provide heating and cooling, are considered a key technology for decarbonizing the building sector. However, geothermal heat pumps ...

Over the next two years, homebuilder Lennar is outfitting more than 1,500 new Colorado homes with Dandelion Energy’s geothermal systems in one of the largest residential geothermal rollouts in the US.

Decarbonizing the energy sector requires renewable sources that are economic and responsive to demand. Intermittency and seasonal variability, therefore, limit the potential of wind and solar.

Solar energy, driven by excellent resource conditions and rapidly improving economic attractiveness, is expected to emerge as a bulk energy supplier in future energy systems. The self-limiting effects ...
