Geothermal energy

Sustainable energy solution

For us, every project starts with one clear goal: energy efficiency. Belgium’s climate is ideal for geothermal energy, thanks to the natural balance between heating demand in the winter and cooling demand in the summer. In addition, our geothermal systems help reduce your CO2 emissions.

Applications

Whatever your energy needs may be, we offer a sustainable cooling and heating solution for:

Offices
Industry
Large residential complexes
Public buildings (hospitals, schools)

Sustainability as a starting point

We harness the natural energy in the ground through a circular system to intelligently store and reuse heat and cold. This allows us to significantly reduce energy consumption and emissions without compromising on comfort or efficiency.

Geothermal energy with a comprehensive approach

Is geothermal energy a good fit for your project? A good geothermal project starts with one simple question: Is it feasible at your location? You’re looking for an approach that’s technically, economically, and spatially feasible. That’s why we work with you to assess your energy needs and determine exactly what your project requires. With our unique geological archive spanning 125 years and comprising more than 100,000 boreholes, we know exactly what potential your subsurface holds. This allows us to accurately predict how much heat and/or cooling your site can provide.

A customized proposal. We incorporate the results of the research into a design-and-build proposal that offers a solution tailored to your project. We consolidate this information into a single, clear process so that you know exactly what to expect.

Practical test of the subsurface. If there is uncertainty about the capacity of the subsurface, we conduct a targeted testing programme. This may involve exploratory drilling, extraction and injection tests, or thermal tests. The results provide you with a clear assessment of the geothermal potential. This way, your decisions are based on hard facts, not on assumptions.

Reliable groundwater model. Our in-house design and engineering department maps local hydrological data on groundwater: the subsurface, existing and permitted water extraction sites, and geothermal installations. We translate your thermal needs into a dynamic pumping profile and a thermal groundwater model. This allows us to assess the impact on the environment and identify potential risks in advance. Thanks to this preliminary study and our many years of experience, we can guide you smoothly through the entire permitting process, without any hassle.

Custom system design. We design your system to be fully tailored to your building. To do this, we consider:

Peak power
Seasonal fluctuations
Annual consumption
Return
Energy balance

Our engineers develop the complete hydraulic and electrical design. Every diagram and every detail is prepared in-house. This ensures that the system is reliable, efficient, and easy to operate.

Complete operation. Not only can we supply the geothermal system, but we can also build the entire power plant around it. We’ll carefully coordinate the geothermal sources and energy production for you. We’ll also provide long-term support for the installation. You won’t have to worry about a thing, because you’ll have a single partner for everything.

Maintenance. A geothermal system will only perform optimally if it is properly maintained. We remain responsible for ensuring the system operates correctly throughout its years of use. This means:

Efficient and reliable follow-up
A system that operates efficiently with maximum performance
A future-proof system with a longer service life
Transparent communication
Real-time monitoring
Preventive maintenance

ESCO model: phased investment in renewable energy. Would you like to use geothermal energy without a large upfront cost? You can, through our ESCO model. We design, build, and manage the system. You only pay for the energy you use.
