Summary
The University of Colorado Boulder may soon start using geothermal energy on campus if two new studies show future potential.
The use of heat from the Earth to generate on-site electricity will depend on the outcomes of the university studies after the state awarded CU two state grants totaling nearly $700,000.
“Geothermal energy, the heat beneath our feet, is an underutilized resource that can save people money on energy and improve air quality,” said Gov. Jared Polis Friday at a ceremony announcing the recipients of grants from the statewide Geothermal Energy Grant Program. CU’s funding was part of $7.7 million in grant awards announced for 35 projects to advance geothermal technology in Colorado.
