Direct geothermal energy: Reducing the rural industries’ carbon footprint. This project aims to design poultry brooder houses using geothermal technology. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions is a global priority. The lack of natural gas in rural areas and brooder houses’ heating and cooling needs make geothermal ideal. Direct geothermal systems use shallow ground both as a heat source and as a heat sink for cooling, using heat pumps. Their application to poultry brooder houses could reduce electricity consumption by up to 75% and thus greenhouse gas emissions, since 91% of electricity comes from fossil fuels in Australia; minimise the need for expensive bottled gas heating; reduce the levels of ammonia emissions; and increase farm productivity.

直接地热能：减少农村工业的碳足迹。该项目旨在利用地热技术设计家禽育雏房。减少温室气体排放是一项全球优先事项。农村地区天然气的缺乏和育雏房的供暖和制冷需求使地热成为理想的选择。直接地热系统使用浅层地面作为热源和散热器，使用热泵进行冷却。将其应用于家禽育雏房可以减少高达75%的电力消耗，从而减少温室气体排放，因为澳大利亚91%的电力来自化石燃料;最大限度地减少对昂贵的瓶装气体加热的需求;降低氨排放水平;提高农业生产力。
