Renewable Energy for Housing
A Heat Network to Sustainably Power Profondeville’s Infrastructure.
Project Objectives
Study and Project Management Assistance mission: deployment of a geothermal heat production system for an energy living lab. Exploration of the geothermal and hydrogeological potential of the subsoil.
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 heat networks is therefore an important strategy for energy transition and carbon footprint reduction.
