Shaping the Future of Energy
What is Geothermal energy?
Geothermal energy is a clean, renewable source of power derived from the natural heat of the Earth. This heat, found beneath the surface in rocks, fluids, and steam, can be harnessed to produce electricity and provide direct heating and cooling.
When it comes to heating and cooling buildings, geothermal energy can be harnessed in most areas in the United States by tapping the stable temperature of the shallow ground—about 10 to several hundred feet below the surface.
Unlike fossil fuels, geothermal energy is sustainable, reliable, and available 24/7—regardless of weather or season. By tapping into this constant source of thermal energy, we can reduce carbon emissions, strengthen energy independence, and support a cleaner, more resilient energy future.
About GIA
Geothermal Impact Alliance (GIA) is a non-profit organization dedicated to advancing the use of geothermal energy for sustainable heating and cooling—not electricity generation. Our focus is the development of commercial-scale, closed-loop geothermal systems that provide efficient, district-level heating and cooling solutions. These systems deliver significant long-term savings and environmental benefits, even though installation costs can be higher upfront.
