Zac Ferney Genève Innovation
Geneva
Celsius Energy won the call for tenders for the ZAC Ferney Genève Innovation, an ambitious Franco-Swiss urban project of 65 hectares. The principle: recover the waste heat generated by CERN's particle gas pedal to supply the heating needs of neighboring buildings via a tempered water loop. The buildings in the ZAC will be able to draw on the heat via heat pumps according to their needs. The surplus heat produced during the summer months will be stored underground until it is recovered during the coldest months, thanks to the geothermal probes installed and controlled by Celsius Energy at a depth of 230 meters.
This innovative approach is projected to save the equivalent of 5,000 tons of CO2 emissions annually when compared to traditional carbon-based heating solutions. Such a significant reduction highlights its potential to make a meaningful contribution toward mitigating climate change and promoting more sustainable energy practices.
Celsius Energy is a ground source heat pump that consists of three main elements: A geothermal energy exchange system, a heat pump and a digital control system. This setup can heat and cool buildings while eliminating 90% of CO₂ emissions per kWh generated compared to the benchmark solution (gas and chillers) and can reduce a building’s energy consumption by 60% and operating costs by 40%. The small surface footprint of this solution - made possible through star-shaped drilling - means that it works for both new buildings and renovations, even those located in dense urban areas. This solution offers low-carbon heating and cooling for year-round comfort and can also simultaneously supply hot and cold. Celsius Energy supports companies from the design phase to the implementation of your system. A digital plug-and-play interface enables real-time management of the system's energy consumption and performance. As the planet warms up, demand for air conditioning is increasing and Celsius aims to meet this need with a cost-effective, sustainable, and simple solution.
