Advancing Geothermal Heating & Cooling Through Data, Research, and Real-World Experiences
Mission GEO is a platform dedicated to advancing understanding of geothermal heating and cooling technology (GeoHC) and its role in supporting energy affordability, workforce development, and long-term infrastructure investment.
Designed for Utilities, Policymakers, Deveopers, Researchers, Educators, and Community Leaders.
By connecting real-world projects with evidence-based research and data, Mission Geo helps translate complex information into practical insights that can inform policy, planning, investment, and implementation.
Our Purpose
Mission GEO exists to make geothermal information more accessible, discoverable, and actionable.
Mission Geo is comprised of a team of passionate policymakers, utilities, advocates, engineers, and drillers who have been involved in the implementation of GeoHC over the past two decades. They have seen firsthand the incredible outcomes of deploying this technology, and they strive to share this information in a way that is more accessible.
By presenting original analysis and organizing technical research, practical applications, data, and industry insights into a searchable, user-friendly experience, the Mission Geo team fosters a deeper understanding of GeoHC technologies and their role in modern energy systems.
Who We Are
Mission Geo is an independent initiative of the geothermal heating and cooling industry’s trade associations across the US and abroad, including GeoExchange and the International Ground Source Heat Pump Association (IGSHPA).
