Heat from below ground is a source of low carbon energy suitable to heat and cool our buildings. A number of technologies tap into either temperature differences or very high heat abundant in deeper yet still accessible strata. Some are industrial in scale and benefit from oil industry know-how but others are available to the average home owners with a yard.
