Ohio geologists study potential for geothermal in abandoned coal mines

Renewable Energy World

Geologists at Ohio University are exploring the potential to turn abandoned coal mines into sources of carbon-free heating and cooling. As the distance from the mine increases, so would capital costs for the piping system, along with losses in heating or cooling capacity. Some horizontal ground loop sites exist as well.
