About

Making a global impact with geothermal

QHeat is a geothermal technology company that supports partners in building future-proof and profitable heat businesses globally. We combine scalable, patented thermal storage and heat production with heat pumps, supported by lifecycle expertise.


Our work builds on years of deep geothermal drilling expertise and research. Since 2018, we have developed our patented coaxial geothermal technology, built the capability to operate geothermal systems, and completed Finland’s first five deep geothermal heating plants with 18 wells.


Today, QHeat enables electrified, economically viable heat production at scale in Europe through a partner-driven model, accelerating the transition away from combustion-based heating.
