This week we talk about one of the leading causes of GHG emissions and one of the most crucial components of daily life. That is heating and cooling. Except our focus is on a solution to the carbon intense methods we currently use today and that is shallow Geothermal systems that provide heating and cooling to both commercial and residential infrastructure. Join me on the journey to bringing awareness to the heat beneath our feet as we talk with Simon Todd of CausewayGT on their plans to be a major player in the heat market.
Things are heating up in Europe currently, whether it be pressures for companies to lower their carbon footprint, gas prices rising to seemingly no end or the pressures to meet the global 1.5 degree C mark by mid century. However, the one HOT topic that deserves to be getting more attention is Geothermal! Well, as of late it is becoming more and more a part of the future equation in Europe. Recently the EU released a Renewable Energy Directive for 2030 and an important piece for the Geothermal industry is the Article 23 which states that all member states have to increase their proportion of renewable heat by 1.3 percentage points each year up to 2030. This is exactly what the team at CausewayGT is focused on, bringing geothermal heat to market by way of direct use. It was great talking with Simon Todd, Managing Director and Chief Technologist of CausewayGT and how they plan to be a major player in the heat market across Europe.
