Innovative Geothermal Solutions
Bedrock Energy focuses on utilizing geothermal energy for heating and cooling systems by developing cost-effective and space-efficient geothermal heat exchange systems. Their approach differs from traditional geothermal methods by drilling deeper than typical residential geothermal but not as deep as utility-scale systems, allowing them to serve larger commercial and industrial projects. This direct utilization of thermal energy minimizes risks associated with exploration and eliminates the need for costly electrical interconnection to the grid. As they optimize their technology, they aim to provide scalable geothermal solutions that can significantly reduce reliance on conventional HVAC systems.
