SUMMARY:Geothermal Energy – Clean\, Renewable\, Proven
DESCRIPTION:Geothermal networks can take advantage of heat stored deep in the earth to heat and cool buildings.  \nBoston-based HEET.org has been a pioneer in accelerating the transition from heating by natural gas to heating by geothermal networks that link homes and businesses. In 2017\, HEET proposed that gas utilities – which have millions of miles of gas pipes laid under streets – replace those pipes with water-filled geothermal pipes. The warmed pipes would transfer their warmth to ground-source heat pumps designed to both heat and cool homes. HEET worked with Eversource to develop a pilot project. Last year\, Eversource launched the first geothermal network (located in Framingham\, MA) built by a gas utility that moved over 130 customers onto geothermal energy for all heating and cooling. It is believed to be the first project of its kind in the world. \nAngie Alberto Escobar\, HEET’s Gas-to-Geo Transition Director\, will provide an overview of geothermal technology and an update on the Framingham project. She will also discuss what’s next for this exciting energy source. \nAbout Our Speaker \nAngie Alberto Escobar is Director of Gas-to-Geo Transition at HEET\, leading efforts to shift from gas to networked geothermal systems with equity at the core. She supports municipalities in assessing geothermal potential\, coordinates technical partners\, and co-develops engagement strategies that prioritize community leadership and long-term resilience. Angie holds degrees from SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry in Sustainable Energy Economics\, and Glendale College in Mathematics. She is committed to a just energy transition that prioritizes efficiency over profit.
