Geothermal Well Systems

, 2013
Geothermal well systems utilize the thermal energy of clean groundwater of hydraulically highly conductive aquifers with water tables close to the surface. The thermal energy of water produced from the well can be extracted by means of heat pumps. Such systems are also called two-well-systems, water–water-heat-pump-systems, or groundwater heat pump ...

Subterranean environments contribute to three‐quarters of classified ecosystem services

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Beneath the Earth's surface lies a network of interconnected caves, voids, and systems of fissures forming in rocks of sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic origin. Although largely inaccessible to humans, this hidden realm supports and regulates services critical to ecological health and human well‐being.

National Environmental Policies and Corporate Green Innovation: The Mirroring Versus Substitution Hypotheses

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Drawing on comparative institutional theory, we study the nature and magnitude of the effects of national environmental policies on corporate green innovation in developed versus emerging markets. Using a sample of 1831 listed firms in 34 countries from 2002 to 2020, we find that national environmental policies increase corporate green ...

A Decision‐Making Model for Implementing Green Technology in Sustainable Building Projects

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Green technology (GT) adoption is pivotal for reconciling environmental stewardship with economic viability in the built environment, particularly in resource‐constrained emerging economies. However, empirical evidence on how specific GT drivers actively mitigate adoption barriers remains scarce.

A Systemic Model for Understanding Business Interactions With Biodiversity and Ecosystems

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation represent critical threats to human well‐being and economic resilience, challenging businesses to understand and manage their interdependence with natural systems. This study develops a systemic framework—the BioModel—that elucidates the reciprocal relationship between businesses, biodiversity, and ...
