This project focuses on simply using ground temperaturesto heat or cool a home or building, which in turn will save energy. This process does not generateheat but rather transports heat. The energy savings and elimination of carbon dioxide emissionscome from the elimination of using existing resources such as coal or natural gas to heat buildings6.Ecological Benefits of Geothermal EnergyA large ecological benefit to using geothermal energy is that it does not burn fossil fuels.
