National Geothermal’s installation of Maine’s largest geothermal system at the Portland International Jetport was recently featured in Mass High Tech. The project is funded by a $2.5 million grant from the Federal Aviation Administration. Jetport officials first considered geothermal energy after learning that a typical installation can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 50 percent, cut energy costs by 65 percent and pay for itself in well under a decade. When the installation is complete, the Jetport will be the first commercial airport in the country to use geothermal energy for heating and cooling. Check out the article here.
