Green Energy from the Earth

Geothermal Energy (from the Greek roots: Geo = Earth and Thermos = Heat) is Energy extracted from heat stored in the Earth.

The Earth's core is over 4000°C. The inner heat constantly radiates outward from the core, and heat from the sun radiates inward from the Earth's surface.

Geothermal was the First Energy from the Earth

Prehistoric people discovered Geothermal Energy, taking shelter in caves from seasonal heat and cold.

Geothermal will be the Last Energy from the Earth

After all the coal, oil and gas have been depleted, Geothermal Energy will be the only energy source in the Earth for future generations.

An Unlimited Energy Resource

Ontario has Vast Geothermal Resources

In our Province, the temperature of the Earth stays constant in the top 200m of the crust, ranging from 6ºC to 11ºC, depending on the region's seasonal temperatures.

Geothermal Energy systems use the Earth's constant temperature to heat and air condition buildngs year round.
