TRANSFORMING INDUSTRIAL ENERGY
The GEOSYN project is dedicated to transforming industrial energy systems by unlocking the full potential of geothermal energy.
Our mission is to develop an innovative, high-temperature steam heat pump integrated with a heat-powered refrigeration cycle using water as a natural working fluid. This cutting-edge solution will enable industries to maximize the cascading use of geothermal energy while offering flexibility, efficiency, and sustainability.
Geothermal energy is one of the most reliable and cost-effective renewable energy sources, yet its industrial application remains limited. GEOSYN is committed to bridging this gap by designing a flexible and scalable system that seamlessly integrates geothermal heat with underground thermal energy storage. This breakthrough will empower industries to transition from fossil fuels to affordable, secure, and environmentally friendly heating solutions.
AT THE HEART OF GEOSYN
At the heart of the GEOSYN project is the development of a high-temperature steam heat pump, capable of achieving exceptionally high operating temperatures tailored for industrial use. This innovative system will:
AN APPROACH
FOR GEOTHERMAL ENERGY
GEOSYN also plans to directly address critical barriers in the adoption of high-temperature heat pumps and heat-powered refrigeration systems. Our technology will enable geothermal energy to supply heat at temperatures beyond 150°C, unlocking new possibilities for industries such as food processing, cement, chemicals, textiles, and more.
Via these approaches GEOSYN aims to:
- Reduce energy costs by enhancing efficiency and lowering the Levelized Cost of Heat (LCOH).
- Eliminate the reliance on harmful synthetic refrigerants, ensuring a truly sustainable and regulatory-compliant solution
- Support the EU’s renewable energy targets, contributing to a greener, more resilient industrial sector.
Geothermal Innovation
Building a strong base for the Future.
Beyond technology development, GEOSYN considers and places a key importance on awareness raising activities, stakeholder engagement, engagement with policy and policy makers via the provision of policy recommendations drawn from the GEOSYN expertise and experience, and the importance of increasing social acceptance. The project actively collaborates with industry leaders, policymakers, and local communities to raise awareness, shape policies, and facilitate large-scale geothermal adoption. Through open-access research and real-world case studies, GEOSYN will demonstrate the viability of geothermal heating and cooling in industrial applications.
By integrating innovation, sustainability, and real-world applicability, GEOSYN is set to significantly and positively impact industrial energy systems. The innovative heat pump will provide a sustainable cost-effective option for the industrial transition toward a low-carbon, high-efficiency future utilising geothermal energy.
