Geothermal Greenhouses in Colorado (USA)

In the city of Pagosa Springs, located in the U.S. state of Colorado, an innovative project has been launched that uses geothermal energy to heat three dome-shaped greenhouses. This technology makes it possible to grow a variety of fresh vegetables, such as tomatoes, lettuce, and cucumbers, even in extremely low winter temperatures. The project is designed so that its energy needs are met almost entirely without fossil fuel consumption, making it fully environmentally sustainable. The use of naturally heated underground water has significantly reduced heating costs. This model serves as an attractive example for cold regions that lack the potential for large-scale agriculture. These greenhouses also play an important role in ensuring local food security.
