We help built environments reach their climate goals with scalable geothermal technology

QHeat is a pioneering technology company specializing in geothermal energy. Our unique solution offers a nearly emission-free way to heat and cool the cities of the future.

Our technology

We help the buildings sector lower its emissions and meet EU requirements

The buildings sector is a significant greenhouse gas producer, accounting for 35% of the EU’s energy-related emissions. As such, it will be strictly regulated in the upcoming years. According to the European Environment Agency, energy renovations will need to be substantially accelerated in this sector to reach the EU’s targets for 2030. The buildings sector needs to cut its emissions by 60% compared to 2015 levels.

Low-emission heating and cooling play a major role in achieving this reduction. Our technology is proven to reduce real estate heating emissions by up to 90% in comparison to fossil-fuel-based heating. It also uses 20–50% less electricity than other heat pump solutions and requires 97% less land than traditional wells. All of these savings result in a more sustainable climate footprint and help the buildings sector transition to a clean future.

How our solution works

Our technology was developed in one of the world’s toughest climates

Finland, one of the northernmost countries in the world, experiences winter temperatures that regularly drop below –20°C. Heating accounts for about a fifth of the country’s annual carbon dioxide emissions. Additionally, Finland lacks natural gas, crude oil, and coal in its bedrock, requiring all fossil energy sources to be imported.

QHeat’s technology was originally developed to help Finnish cities transition to more sustainable energy production. We built the country’s first geothermal plant in Espoo in January 2020 and have several new projects underway in different locations around the world.

Having tested the technology in one of the world’s most challenging climates, we are confident in its ability to adapt to any city and climate.

Our geothermal technology is protected by patents and available for licensing. It offers a proven, industry-scale solution for geothermal heating and cooling.

Built on a rigorous scientific foundation, every aspect of our technology has been developed and thoroughly tested in collaboration with top geothermal energy experts and universities (e.g., VTT, one of Europe’s leading research institutions, the Geological Survey of Finland, and the University of Helsinki).

What we deliver

Heating, cooling and energy storage – all in one well

QHeat’s technology is an optimal solution for urban construction in dense areas. A single medium-depth well can provide heating and cooling for an entire block. Compared to traditional geothermal fields that can occupy up to 5,000 m2, a medium-depth QHeat well takes up less space than a doormat.

QHeat can help cities bring geothermal energy to areas where it wouldn’t normally be possible due to dense construction. A 1,500-meter-deep well can provide the same emission reduction as 7,000 solar panels. This means that urban areas can use land more efficiently and cut down on their energy emissions.

QHeat wells extend much deeper than ordinary geothermal heating solutions, reaching depths of 1,000–2,000 meters. At these depths, temperatures are significantly higher, enabling greater energy production. At the core of QHeat’s technology is an insulated coaxial flow, which facilitates the storage and efficient use of heat from deep within the ground.

As energy efficiency and low-emission energy solutions become the minimum requirement for modern buildings, you can get ahead of the game by adopting clean energy solutions for your building now. By making your building more sustainable, you will ensure viable returns in the form of rent premiums, low operating costs, and better financing conditions. You will also attract an increasing number of tenants who need their office and industrial spaces to positively contribute to their climate and sustainability goals.

Energy self-sufficiency means that energy consumers produce the energy they need themselves. Becoming an energy producer is economically and ecologically smart. By shortening or even eliminating the supply chain, you can make significant savings while effectively managing your environmental impact.

 

Renewable geothermal energy improves the energy self-sufficiency of both the user and the whole state. Heat wells have a lifecycle of up to 100 years, so stable energy production is ensured regardless of the weather or season.
