Geneva's 150,000 Residence to Have Geothermal Heating

Geneva's pilot project, as reported in Think Geothermal, to provide geothermal heating to 150,000 residence from this first project alone. At 744 meters they reached water that is a constant 33 degrees Celsius, and it flows at 50 liters per second. What has been learned will inform a scientific and regulatory framework for developing sustainable geothermal heating and energy throughout the country.

On the other side of the Swiss border, France has been following their progress and will implement their own systems to provide this low-cost clean heat and power. Like a number of cities in the world such as Reykjavik,  the heating of buildings and hot waters for showers will be much less expensive and completely fossil fuel free and not draw against the electical grid.
