About
Founded in 2009, Heet is a ngo headquartered in Boston, United States with approximately 50-200 employees specializing in Geothermal, Energy Storage.
Heet is a nonprofit organization founded in 2009 as the Home Energy Efficiency Team. The organization has evolved into a comprehensive climate solutions incubator with three core focus areas: (1) identifying and reducing methane emissions from natural gas distribution systems through leak mapping and repair strategies; (2) advancing networked geothermal (ground-source heat pump) systems as a scalable alternative to gas utilities for thermal energy delivery; and (3) promoting residential energy efficiency and renewable energy adoption. Heet conducts original research on the composition and health impacts of natural gas, works with utilities on pilot geothermal projects, provides hands-on workforce training, and centers environmental justice in all programming. The organization operates with independence from utility and industry funding, relying on foundations and government grants.
