GeoTherm Expo & Congress The GeoTherm Expo and Congress, the biggest European event for geothermal energy, this year was held on February 25-26 in Offenburg, in Germany. For two whole days researchers, producers, public authorities representatives and professionals discussed about shallow and deep geothermal energy. First of all, specialized industries on both sectors gave updated Read more about ITER at the geothermal congress in Offenburg[…]
Shallow geothermal systems Several technological solutions called Ground Source Heat Pumps (GSHPs) are available for shallow geothermal systems. What do they do? Most of all, they transfer heat between underground and residential, industrial or commercial buildings. Since GSHPs are conceived to extract and/or inject heat from/into the ground during winter and/or summer, several technological solutions Read more about Shallow geothermal systems: how to exchange heat with the ground?[…]

A short video gives clear tips for discovering shallow geothermal energy! In addition, it explains what it can do for you and your community. Read more about Shallow geothermal energy: what are we talking about?[…]
European Projects in contact A wonderful opportunity of cooperation at dissemination level between two European Projects The Project Coordinator of Cheap-GSHPs Project, Dr. Adriana Bernardi, invited ITER to attend their 2nd Internal Meeting. In detail Cheap-GSHP means “Cheap and efficient application of reliable ground source heat exchangers and pumps”. Why? Because this project focuses on Read more about European Projects: ITER meets Cheap-GSHPs in Bilbao[…]
