Connecticut’s Groundbreaking Geothermal Network: Heating the Future in New Haven By Robert Buluma   In the heart of New Haven, Connecticut, a quiet but revolutionary clean-energy transformation is unfolding beneath city streets. What lies underground could redefine how American cities heat and cool their buildings. New Haven has officially begun construction of Connecticut’s first networked geothermal energy system, a project designed to provide ultra-efficient, low-emission heating and cooling to the city’s historic Union Station and a major new public housing development nearby. More than a local infrastructure upgrade, this initiative marks a decisive step toward New Haven’s ambitious climate goal: fully decarbonizing municipal buildings and transportation by 2030. Even more significantly, it positions the city as a blueprint for how thermal energy networks could be scaled across Connecticut and eventually, the United States.

🌍 Seismic Surveys Kick Off Geothermal Exploration in Łódź Why Łódź is Going Underground for Clean Heat By:  Robert Buluma In an exciting development for climate-focused energy innovation, the Danish company Innargi has teamed up with Veolia Energia Łódź to explore the geothermal potential beneath the city of Łódź, Poland. A letter of intent signed in late 2024 formalized their long-term partnership to decarbonize the city's district heating system by tapping into renewable geothermal resources. Mapping the Earth: What’s Happening & When Starting around August 11, 2025 , seismic surveys are scheduled to begin across four routes covering approximately 160–186 km throughout the city. Specialized vibro‑trucks will send controlled vibrations—lasting roughly 20 seconds—into the ground. These signals are captured by geophones placed in advance along the planned routes. The data will be used to build a detailed subsurface map in just 4 weeks . Survey operations are prima...
