Interview – Celsius Energy and decarbonizing buildings using shallow geothermal systems

ThinkGeoEnergy

Heating and cooling buildings accounts for about a third of the final energy consumption globally and 30% of energy-related CO 2 emissions. With global temperatures rising, the need for cooling is expected to increase dramatically in the next few years. Heating and cooling buildings is 80% of that energy used.
