Market Potential

The global geothermal energy market is expected to experience significant growth in the coming years.

QHeat has also been involved in the development of the first commercial geothermal power plant in Finland, which is currently under construction in the town of Pori.

QHeat’s Role in Geothermal Projects

Finland’s Geothermal Potential

Finland has a unique geothermal potential, with numerous hot springs and geothermal areas scattered throughout the country. The country’s geology is characterized by a thick layer of Precambrian rock, which provides a suitable environment for geothermal energy production. QHeat has been at the forefront of harnessing this potential, with a focus on developing sustainable and environmentally friendly geothermal solutions.

Geothermal Heating Plants

QHeat has already played a significant role in the development of geothermal heating plants in Finland. The first geothermal heating plant in Vantaa was completed in 2013, providing heating to over 1,000 homes. The plant uses a closed-loop system, where water is pumped through underground pipes to absorb heat from the earth, which is then used to heat buildings. This technology has proven to be efficient and cost-effective, reducing the carbon footprint of the heating system.

Subsurface Heat Storage Facilities

In addition to geothermal heating plants, QHeat has also been involved in the development of subsurface heat storage facilities. The subsurface heat storage facility in Salo is a prime example of this technology. The facility stores excess heat generated by a nearby power plant during the summer months, which is then used to provide heating to homes and businesses during the winter months.

This is significantly higher than the COP of traditional heat pumps, which typically range from 2 to 4.

The Science Behind QHeat’s Technology

QHeat’s technology is based on coaxial flow, a method of heat transfer that involves the use of a central core surrounded by a cylindrical shell. This design allows for a more efficient transfer of heat energy, resulting in a higher COP. The coaxial flow design enables the QHeat wells to operate at a lower temperature than traditional heat pumps, reducing energy consumption and increasing efficiency. The use of a central core and cylindrical shell also allows for a more precise control over the flow of heat energy, enabling the QHeat wells to adapt to changing environmental conditions.*

Real-World Applications

QHeat’s technology has numerous real-world applications, including:

First Licensing Project in Estonia

QHeat’s expansion plans are already underway, with the company’s first licensing project in Estonia. This project marks an important milestone in the company’s growth strategy, as it demonstrates its ability to successfully deploy geothermal energy solutions in new markets.

Project Ambitions

QHeat projects 180 licensed heat wells across several European markets by 2027. This ambitious target reflects the company’s confidence in the potential of geothermal energy to meet the growing demand for renewable energy sources.
