Thar Geothermal, LLC develops and markets heating and cooling solutions that are rooted in nature’s design, and that meets the triple bottom line of enhanced energy efficiency, reduced operating costs, and reduced environmental footprint. What differentiates Thar Geothermal from other commercial geothermal systems is the use of an established natural refrigerant, recycled carbon dioxide (known as R744). Additionally the technology lowers the cost and environmental footprint of system installation which has historically hampered adoption of conventional geothermal technology. By improving return of investment and lowering market barriers, Thar Geothermal is planning for rapid market penetration. The company is now in the process of transitioning from a development-stage company to a commercial operating company that designs, builds, installs, and finances sustainable heating and cooling systems.
