Innovation for Competitiveness Fund

An underground heat pump system at Kameha Grand hotel in Germany that uses six geothermal wells at 28 meters depth to provide heating and cooling for 80,000 square feet of building space, supplying all cooling and 70 percent of heating needs while saving approximately 1,700,000 kWh annually.

A method of growing crops in water-based nutrient solutions rather than soil, used in conjunction with geothermal heating for optimized production.

Lampa (near Santiago)

A greenhouse in Lampa, Chile that uses geothermal heat pump technology to fully heat the facility and control temperature for hydroponic crop production. The project demonstrates integration of geothermal energy with modern agricultural methods.

A proposed complementary project to support local agriculture in Chile's southern regions of Aysén and Magallanes in Patagonia, using similar geothermal greenhouse technology adapted for colder climates.
