HEET is a Thermal Energy Innovation Hub with a mission to evolve the energy system to meet the needs of the future. We believe in an equitable energy transition that meets the needs of all, from low-income communities to gas utility workers to future generations. To accomplish this, we build collaborative networks based on trust, bring uncommon partners together to find common ground, and iterate to find solutions supported by science.

HEET is a nonprofit reimagining and redesigning our energy system to meet the needs of the future. In 2017 HEET pioneered the idea, now made real, of thermal utilities providing building heating and cooling through interconnectable geothermal networks. These networks deliver local, clean, least-cost thermal energy. This invisible energy is everywhere including the air, the ground, and even the sea. Near HEET’s office, Boston Harbor is 3.4℃ warmer today than in 1950. That’s too hot for lobsters. It’s also enough 'anthrothermal' energy to heat over one million homes. Join the lobsters in supporting #ThermalOpportunity mapping, making invisible solutions visible.
