Quebec’s energy future depends on a variety of renewable energies, including geothermal energy, which uses the heat naturally contained in the ground to heat or cool buildings.
About geothermal energy
At a certain depth in the earth, the temperature is relatively stable (about 10°C), while at the surface, it varies greatly according to the climate. The ground is therefore an excellent source of heat, which can be harnessed using a geothermal energy system. The principle is simple: a geothermal heat pump transfers heat from the underground circuit to buildings equipped with a distribution system. In winter, the geothermal system extracts the heat stored in the ground and transfers it to buildings, while in summer, it removes heat from buildings to release it back into the ground for cooling.
A new market to be developed
To support its growth and fulfill its vision of providing a portfolio of diversified energy solutions, Énergir is embarking in a new business sector. With its new subsidiary Énergir Geothermal Solution*, Énergir is adding a high-value solution to efforts to accelerate the energy transition and reduce electricity demand during peak periods.
Imagining energy differently
We believe that the future of energy lies in diversity.
That’s why Énergir (directly and through its subsidiaries) is actively involved in developing renewable natural gas and liquefied and compressed natural gas, geothermal energy, as well as solar, wind and hydroelectric projects.
