Geothermal Innovation

Underground Energy is committed to innovation and quality in geothermal applications. We understand the energy efficiency and cost savings that are being realized from advanced geothermal energy storage applications in Europe, and we are leading the commercialization of underground thermal energy storage technology in the US.

Applied Hydrogeology

The importance of hydrogeology, the science of groundwater, to the success of geothermal installations is not widely appreciated. Proper orientiation of a ground heat exchanger array relative to groundwater flow direction can significantly improve the operating efficiency of a small residential geothermal system. On the cutting edge of geothermal technology, design of ATES systems requires extensive hydrogeologic knowledge. We have been practicing applied hydrogeology since the 1980s, and are experts at all aspects of site hydrogeologic characterization, hydraulic testing, groundwater flow and heat transport modeling, and geochemical evaluation. We will enthusiastically bring this skill set to your geothermal application.
