Join representatives from HEET Geothermal for a lunchtime conversation about community geothermal projects in Massachusetts: where we are making progress, what challenges we’re discovering, and what we still need to know or do to move the needle…?Ground-source heat pumps have been in use for decades and have a strong domestic supply chain. Because they use no fuel—and run on just a modest amount of electricity—they cut carbon emissions substantially (over 60% in Massachusetts compared to gas heating systems). As electricity generation moves to renewables, emissions from geothermal networks will fall to zero.Utility-scale geothermal networks leverage the utilities’ right-of-way in the street along with their capital financing, existing workforce, and customer base. Installation and building retrofit costs could be paid for up front by the utilities and spread across the entire customer base over many years, making it accessible and affordable for everyone.Special guest Angie Alberto-Escobar, HEET’s Gas-to-Geo Transition Director.For more see HEET’s website and this short video.
