As gas utilities face shrinking customer bases, Sinopec’s strategic geothermal pivot highlights why heat-as-a-service is key to avoiding economic collapse.
Industrial heat pumps and shallow geothermal offer a proven, scalable, low-risk path to zero-carbon process heat. It's time to scale the quiet revolution.
Shifting from fossil hydrogen is like fixing a leaky tap—stop emissions at the source. Prioritize displacing fossil hydrogen in industry.
Learn from Denmark and Sweden: how underground thermal energy storage can help northern cities reduce fossil fuel use and cut carbon emissions dramatically.
Don’t fall for the hydrogen heating hype. Research shows heat pumps are far more efficient, affordable, and ready today for zero-carbon buildings.
Europe’s outdated power grid is stalling climate goals and growth. The Draghi competitiveness report and new EU plans demand urgent upgrades.
China has installed over 77 GW of geothermal heating capacity. Here’s why that matters for the future of urban energy systems everywhere
Hydrogen may be light by weight but storing it is inefficient and energy-intensive due to its low volumetric density and complex infrastructure needs.
Geothermal mirrors nuclear and fossil fuel marketing, emphasizing energy density and reliability myths rather than true economic advantages.
