On World Geothermal Energy Day, Subterra Renewables celebrates Ohio’s Oberlin College in its drive to Net Zero by 2025 as the campus converts its century-old heating system to a geothermal energy exchange system. Workers on site are using state-of-the-art sonic drilling rigs to bore 850 well holes, 600-feet underground to install the thermal pipes. (CNW Group/Subterra Renewables)
