Why are wastewater and geothermal systems a match made in heaven? For starters, WET systems can significantly lower the costs associated with Geothermal projects by reducing the number of holes that need to be drilled, this, in turn, allows companies to win more projects because of less expenses, and to create projects with a more efficient loop energy. It's a win-win situation!
Thermal energy networks (TENs) are utility-scale infrastructure projects that connect multiple buildings into a shared network with sources of thermal energy, such as geothermal boreholes, surface water, and wastewater. Thermal energy refers to energy that changes the temperature of our spaces and the water we use in our homes and workplaces. Most people get thermal energy by burning fossil fuels in a boiler, furnace, or water heater. However, much more efficient and clean ways exist to obtain thermal energy, such as from the earth, which holds a constant temperature year-round.
