Revolutionizing Heating: Geobattery Concept Offers Sustainable, Low-Cost Decarbonisation Solution
The article introduces a new concept called a "geobattery" that aims to use low enthalpy geothermal energy for sustainable heating. By redistributing heat through pathways in the ground, this system can provide low-cost, low carbon heating. The researchers demonstrate this concept with a case study of a data center, showing that it can help maintain the sustainability of geothermal resources and play a key role in reducing carbon emissions from heating.
