Ett geoenergisystem består av ett eller flera borrhål, energibrunnar, som via värmeväxlare är kopplade till en värmepump. I en del fall är det önskvärt att borrhålen återfylls. Detta görs för att förhindra spridning av föroreningar från ytan och mellan olika akvifärer som borrhålet kan kortsluta. Utomlands görs detta regelbundet och omfattande forskning har bedrivits på området. I Sverige saknar dA shallow geothermal energy system consists of one or several boreholes connected to a heat pump through borehole heat exchangers. In some circumstances it’s desirable that the boreholes are grouted.
