GeotIs Introduces Geothermal Traffic Light Map In Germany

Unlocking the Potential of Geothermal Energy in Germany: GeotIS Introduces First Traffic Light Map for Ground Source Heat Pumps By  Robert Buluma The pursuit of a sustainable energy future is inseparable from harnessing geothermal energy. But for municipalities and property owners eager to tap into this abundant source of warmth beneath the Earth's surface, where can they find initial information on the potential benefits and how to embark on the journey of geothermal utilization? Researchers from the Leibniz Institute for Applied Geophysics (LIAG) and the University of Göttingen, in collaboration with geological services across Germany, are crafting a nationwide solution. Enter the Geothermal Information System (GeotIS), a freely accessible platform showcasing potential geothermal resources and, through color-coded maps, highlighting areas suitable for installing ground source heat pumps for building heating and cooling purposes.
