The only thing thing that the US should be focused on is using the #GeoThermicEffect to drive #HeatPumps & #DistrictEnergy #AtScale. #GeoThermalEnergy is an #ECOKiller and is being promoted by #GeoThermalGrifters. #JustSayNO to their #GeoThermalBulshit. End this #GeoThermalMadness before it spreads. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/apr/02/geothermal-energy-electricity?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other
US aiming to ‘crack the code’ on deploying geothermal energy at scale

Recent $74m investment made alongside assessment that 10% of electricity could be generated by geothermal by 2050

"#DistrictEnergy systems are efficient, but that doesn't mean they don't have emissions. The St. Paul facility burns about 240,000 tons of tree waste a year. The Minneapolis plant is one of Hennepin County's largest users of natural gas.

But system leaders say their emissions are significantly lower than if each customer was heating and cooling their own building. Both systems aim to be carbon free by 2050."

Under your feet: The massive, centralized systems that keep the Twin Cities comfy

District energy systems have been in the Minneapolis and St. Paul for decades. Here's how they work.

#Sharing: These days, lots of people are looking for cleaner sources of #heat and more #efficient ways to #share it, so #districtenergy is becoming sexy again. Among other things, it’s a great way for #cities to meet their #carbongoals without overburdening their #electricalgrids.

What's the deal with district energy?

District energy -- in which a group of buildings share a common source of heating & cooling -- dates back at least to the Roman Empire, but the clean-energy transition has brought this extremely clean & efficient arrangement to the forefront. I talk with an expert about how it works & where to find it.

RT @SorenBLorenzen: #districtenergy can help solve the current heating crisis AND fight climate change through energy efficiency and replacing fossil fuels with renewables like #geothermal.

Ti punkter, der kan gøre EU’s varme- og kølesektor grønnere

Ti energiorganisationer i EU har rettet en appel mod EU's institutioner med ti forslag til, hvordan medlemslandene kan udfase brugen af fossile brændsler. Det skriver international chef i Dansk Fjernvarme, Birger Lauersen, i dette indlæg, der er bragt i GridTech den 8. december 2022.
