Renewable Energy for Housing
A Heating Network to Sustainably Supply Homes in Court-Saint-Étienne.
Project Objectives
This network will recover geothermal heat to supply a 4th generation heating network located in a new eco-district in Court-Saint-Étienne. The network will meet the thermal energy needs of 75 homes and 1 commercial unit within 2 existing buildings and 215 new homes to be built in 6 new buildings in Court-Saint-Étienne.
Harnessing Geothermal Energy
Geothermal energy is a renewable energy source that relies on harnessing the heat naturally present in the subsoil.
Within heat networks, geothermal energy allows for capturing this heat via shallow or deep boreholes, and then distributing it through a hydraulic network. This technology offers the advantage of being locally available, stable year-round, and a low emitter of greenhouse gases. By leveraging this sustainable resource, it is possible to significantly reduce dependence on fossil fuels, while ensuring a continuous and controlled energy supply.
The integration of geothermal energy into heating networks is therefore an important strategy for the energy transition and the reduction of the carbon footprint of housing.

Benefits for the Community
The deployment of the district heating network in Court-Saint-Étienne offers concrete benefits for the community by providing a green and economical heat source. By using renewable energy from geothermal sources, this project reduces costs for residents and decreases the local carbon footprint, while contributing to a healthier and more sustainable environment.
