Geothermal Greenhouses

---

 Deep geothermal systems enable large-scale greenhouses (10,000–500,000 m²) to operate with stable, low-cost, and climate-independent heating and cooling—critical in the UK's increasingly uncertain agricultural future.

• Heat Source: Superheated water or high-temperature brine from wells 800m–3,000m deep.
• Flow Rate Requirement: For a 10,000 m

 Deep geothermal systems enable large-scale greenhouses (10,000–500,000 m²) to operate with stable, low-cost, and climate-independent heating and cooling—critical in the UK's increasingly uncertain agricultural future.

• Heat Source: Superheated water or high-temperature brine from wells 800m–3,000m deep.
• Flow Rate Requirement: For a 10,000 m² greenhouse:
  • ~16–18 °C temperature increase.
  • ~2–5 L/s flowrate of 50–80°C geothermal water (varies by insulation and crop type).
• Carbon Benefits: 80–95% GHG savings compared to fossil-based heating. Eligible for carbon credits.
• Crop Protection: Ensures root-zone heating doesn’t drop below 14–16 °C for high-value crops like tomatoes, peppers, and leafy greens—even in Northern Scotland.
   

✅ Ideal for investors aiming for long-term stable food-energy infrastructure.

 Ideal for small to mid-size operations (500 m² – 10,000 m²), or for converting existing greenhouses to low-carbon energy.

• System Type: Vertical or horizontal boreholes.
• Thermal Load Range:
  • 500 m² greenhouse ~20–30 kW thermal load.
  • 1 borehole (~100–150m) per 10–15 kW depending on geology.
• Seasonal Strategy: Combined heating & cooling (for summ

• System Type: Vertical or horizontal boreholes.
• Thermal Load Range:
  • 500 m² greenhouse ~20–30 kW thermal load.
  • 1 borehole (~100–150m) per 10–15 kW depending on geology.
• Seasonal Strategy: Combined heating & cooling (for summer dehumidification and winter frost protection).
• Crop Stability: Internal temp can be maintained within 16–28 °C range, reducing spoilage and increasing yields.
• Subsidy Eligibility: Projects can access UK heat decarbonisation grants (GHNF, Boiler Upgrade Scheme), as well as carbon credit revenue.
   

🔁 Excellent for retrofitting or integrating into diversified farm energy plans.

 For large-scale agro-parks or community-integrated greenhouse clusters, we design ambient-temperature heat-sharing networks. These systems:

• Enable multi-parcel or site-wide integration. 
• Balance heating and cooling needs seasonally.
• Recycle excess heat from nearby facilities (e.g., data centres, supermarkets).
• Work on very low-grade heat sou

• Balance heating and cooling needs seasonally.
• Recycle excess heat from nearby facilities (e.g., data centres, supermarkets).
• Work on very low-grade heat sources (10–30 °C), ideal with GSHPs.
   

💡 Scalable for up to 500,000 m² with modular deployment.
