The success of a geothermal project depends on a thorough understanding of the infrastructure’s heating and cooling needs and on a detailed analysis of the geological resources to ensure an optimized technical design. Geothermaq supports project owners at every stage of their project’s development, from the initial idea, to the detailed technical specifications, through the construction phase of the project, and the operation and maintenance work of the infrastructure.
Before you incur any costs, we assess your site’s potential. This quick, free assessment helps confirm whether geothermal energy—whether from groundwater or boreholes—is a suitable option based on your heating and cooling needs, as well as your geological, regulatory and economic environment.
Objective : To determine whether geothermal energy is a viable solution for your project.
This is the foundation of your decision. Working with a partner thermal engineering firm, we review the regulation, we conduct a detailed analysis of your heating and/or cooling needs and the characteristics of the subsurface; we size the underground and above-ground systems; and we prepare a comprehensive economic analysis, including CAPEX, OPEX, and IRR.
Objective : To recommend the optimal solution for your project and calculate its profitability and environmental impact.
Certain situations require regulatory expertise. Based on the level of risk, the BRGM has classified some GMI zones as “orange.” Géothermaq is an expert approved by the relevant ministries to provide the technical recommendations necessary for projects to proceed in these situations.
Objective : to ensure the safety of projects in GMI “orange” zones.
In France, Geothermal energy is governed by the Mining Code, the Environmental Code, and the Water Act. We handle all administrative procedures—including GMI online filings and DREAL applications—to ensure your facilities comply with the law.
In the US : Discuss regulatory support services with Geothemarq Management
Objective : To ensure compliance and alignment with all regulations.
Our experts, supported by our AI tool, will assess within 48 hours in France (5 days in the US) the feasibility of your geothermal project.
