Heating and cooling account for over 40% of the GHG emissions globally so this is an area that has a lot of room for innovation and development to lower emissions and provide low carbon alternatives. Geothermal heat pumps are one of the best options for this space both residential and commercial. They use the ambient temperature water just beneath our feet coupled with a heat exchanger to provide low carbon heating and cooling. Dandelion is a leader in this space currently working in the Northeastern US market to provide residential geothermal heat pumps.
Little g as some would say is the geothermal heating and cooling space or direct use as some would refer to it is a major piece of how Geothermal will scale and go global. Heating and cooling account for up to 40% of GHG emissions globally so providing low carbon heating and cooling residentially and commercially is a huge market ripe for opportunity. Dandelion is taking advantage of this and the large market of the Northeastern US where they use shallow low temperature geothermal to heat and cool residential communities. This model is one that can be replicated anywhere on earth for the most part and can be a big piece of the Geothermal everywhere becoming a reality. Hear more on how Dandelion is decarbonizing the heating and cooling space with geothermal heat pumps. Thank you Michael Sachse.
