GeoCoHorT aims to advance fourth-generation district heating and cooling by integrating shallow geothermal heat with other renewables and smart buildings. The project focuses on a micro-district in Limerick, Ireland, using groundwater from the River Shannon to improve efficiency and reduce noise. It will develop a tool for communities and planners to optimize heating systems, considering costs and environmental impact.
Geo CoHort is powered by a network of global collaborators, including the USA Department of Energy (NETL), the Swedish Energy Agency, Ireland’s SEAI, and the Tyndall National Institute. Together, we’re driving the transition to a sustainable energy future.
