Geothermal: The Natural Energy Solution

Geothermal energy technology offers a versatile and sustainable approach to meeting the world’s energy needs. From electricity generation and direct heating applications to innovative uses like desalination and heat pumps, geothermal energy provides numerous benefits, contributing to a greener and more resilient energy future.

Geotherm Distribution offers you a complete geothermal solution that includes technologies and services tailored for your geothermal resources, existing assets, and your needs. Solutions are tailored for geothermal operators and organizations with high energy needs and demand dedicated access “behind the meter,”. We work in collaboration with strategic partners to provide a solution that spans the geothermal project lifecycle.

Uses of Geothermal Energy

If you’re looking to cool your home in the summer, for example, one of the uses of geothermal energy technologies is to allow you in hot times to take heat from your house, send it down pipes into the ground (where it naturally cools), and return it to your house (where it helps bring down the temperature inside). The technology typically uses a liquid like antifreeze as a carrier of that heat, which is moved about in a closed-loop piping system.

One of the other main uses of geothermal energy is the same concept but in reverse in cold months. Geothermal energy technology is used to bring warmer temperatures into your home without using fossil fuels, just by tapping into a heat exchange deep below the surface of the earth. Cool, right? But geothermal energy is so much more.

Geotherm Distribution Technology

At Geotherm Distribution we believe in the power of innovation through collaboration.We are an active member of association dedicated to geothermal energy. The main scope is to promote the development of geothermal energy in all its forms in Romania. Romanian Geoexchange Society is commited to education and awareness building to promote the use of geothermal energy as sustainable in Romania.

Geothermal heat pump for heating and cooling the system

What is a 'geothermal' or 'ground source' heat pump?

A geothermal or ground source heat pump heats or cools your home by moving heat to and from the ground through a series of buried loops.

What are the advantages of geothermal heat pumps?

  • Low noise: no outdoor equipment above ground.
  • Very efficient as air conditioners.
  • No on-site combustion.
  • A single system can provide heating and air-conditioning (and optional water heating).
  • If electricity generation becomes cleaner, geothermal heat pumps could have clear-cut environmental benefits compared to natural gas furnaces.
  • The direct use of geothermal energy can be done by the usage of geothermal springs for the purpose of heating, melting sidewalks during winter.

Geothermal District Heating and Cooling Systems

Geothermal District Heating and Cooling Systems (GDHCS) are centralized energy systems that utilize the Earth’s natural heat to provide heating and cooling to multiple buildings within a defined district or community. These systems leverage the stable underground temperatures to efficiently heat and cool buildings, offering a sustainable alternative to conventional heating and cooling methods.

  • Technology: Centralized geothermal plants supply hot or chilled water through a network of insulated pipes to multiple buildings.
  • Application: Suitable for urban areas, residential complexes, and industrial parks.

What are the advantages of geothermal heat pumps?

  • Energy Efficiency: GDHCS are highly efficient, often achieving efficiencies of 300-600% compared to conventional systems.
  • Reduced Energy Dependency: By utilizing local geothermal resources, communities reduce their dependence on imported fossil fuels, enhancing energy security.
  • Cost Savings: While the initial investment is high, GDHCS offer long-term cost savings through lower operational and maintenance costs.
