Engineering the earth

Borehole Thermal Energy Storage (BTES)
Using the earth as a rechargeable battery.

Ground heat exchange systems (BTES systems) consist of arrays of plastic hoses installed in the soil vertically or horizontally. These are simple and renewable methods for underground heat exchange, providing energy for use in heat pumps. To a limited extent it’s also possible to supply cold for cooling with this system.

Advantages
From a technical point of view, a BTES system can be used virtually anywhere in the world. A ground heat exchanger can also be connected to other renewable sources of heat, such as solar energy.

Our activities
We support owners, project developers, energy companies, consultants, contractors and drilling companies from feasibility studies to implementation and operation of a ground heat exchange system. The aim here is to install and operate systems as sustainably as possible, while optimising investment and operating costs.
