Learn more about Heating & Cooling

With the growing use of artificial intelligence (AI), the large energy loads required to support data centers is increasing rapidly. Geothermal energy could help add more reliable power to the grid and meet the needs of this increasingly digitized world.

Learn how the Office of Geothermal's Federal Geothermal Partnerships (FedGeo) initiative is helping the federal government lead by example in making buildings more energy-efficient with geothermal energy.

Geothermal is keeping communities warm (and cool!) nationwide! Learn how a growing number of district-wide geothermal systems and Thermal Energy Networks (TENs) are bringing heating and cooling solutions to homes, businesses, campuses, and more.

Geothermal direct use is the use of geothermal energy drawn for heating or other applications without first converting it to electricity.

Low temperature geothermal resources offer opportunities for electricity production, heating and cooling, and other uses. Learn about these technologies and how the Office of Geothermal supports advances via R&D projects.

Learn how geothermal heating and cooling technologies, including thermal energy networks (TENs), geothermal direct use, and geothermal heat pumps offer efficient temperature control solutions and can help reduce energy costs and stabilize the grid.
