    Geothermal energy and storage

    There is a lot of thermal mass in the ground, allowing the temperature to remain stable at around 10°C at depths as shallow as 1m. Ground Source Heat Pumps (GSHPs) use this consistent temperature to maintain a high seasonal efficiency. As depths increase, that stable temperature tends higher due to nuclear decay of materials deep…
