Geo-energy
Renewable energy for a sustainable indoor climate
What is geothermal energy?
Geo-energy is a renewable form of energy extracted from the ground below us, mainly in the form of solar energy stored in the bedrock. Through systems such as geothermal heating, borehole storage, and aquifer storage, the energy is extracted to create a controlled indoor climate without combustion processes.
Smart combination with district heating
The most efficient solution is to combine geothermal energy with district heating – it provides maximum operational reliability and significant cost savings. The digital control allows real-time monitoring and optimization of the system, halving heating costs over time.
How geo-energy works
The system usually consists of several interconnected boreholes where fluid in collector tubes transports the heat from the rock. Geo-energy creates an optimal energy balance by cooling the boreholes when heat is extracted during winter and heating them when cold is used during summer. This natural cycle provides both heating and cooling in an environmentally sound and economical way.
A long-term investment
Geo-energy is a proven technology that provides stable operation all year round with minimal visible equipment, as most of it is underground. With the right dimensioning and professional installation, you get an environmentally friendly energy solution that works for decades with minimal maintenance.
Geo-energy in Sweden
Sweden has excellent conditions for geo-energy thanks to our bedrock. The only real limitation of geo-energy is the initial investment, but the operating costs are very low and provide an attractive payback period.
The benefits of geothermal energy
Geo-energy is a 100% renewable energy solution that works in all weather conditions and requires minimal visible equipment. The system delivers both heating and cooling and, when combined with district heating, can halve heating costs.
