Technologies

Terra Energy's engineering tradition is the continuation of 15 years of groundbreaking geothermal energy research and development at VITO. Our specialists have literally worked with these technologies since inception.

Depending on your local geological conditions, available surface area, and energy consumption profile, we select the ideal geothermal energy solution and design a custom application for your site. While we continue to field newer and more robust technologies, the two most commonly used energy storage mediums are ATES and BTES.

  • ATES: Using the groundwater temperature.
  • BTES: Using the thermal energy towards and from the ground
