Today is an exciting time to be involved in the energy transition, there is so much innovation happening across the entire energy value chain. Obviously here, we are focused on Geothermal in particular, but the story remains the same. As yet another example of the fascinating minds pushing the envelope to make Geothermal everywhere a serious reality, we sit down with the CEO of Qheat a Finnish Geothermal company that is taking a new spin on Geothermal for heating and cooling. Sit down, grab a notebook and some coffee because you are going to want to remember this one.
You may have heard of a Ground Source Heat pump in passing or maybe you even have one at your home. Well today we are going to be taking a deep dive into yes, Geothermal for heating and cooling, but an extremely innovative and new approach to making it more efficient and energy dense. Hailing from the real estate sector, Erika Salmenvaara jumped over to work in Geothermal as she saw firsthand the challenges of providing energy to real estate developments. Qheat is on a mission to provide sustainable, efficient power to real estate investments so that they can take advantage of the taxonomy in the EU, but also decarbonize and incentivize buyers. Grab your headphones, sit in your favorite chair or relax on your commute into work and soak in the knowledge Erika drops in this one.
