Bosch Acquires Geothermal Heat Pump Company

31 January 2007

Bosch has acquired FHP Manufacturing as a part of its strategy to strengthen its Thermotechnology division and gain better access to the rapidly growing US market for electric geothermal heat pumps. FHP is Bosch's second acquisition in the field of electric heat pumps, following the acquisition of the Swedish IVT Industrier AB in January 2005.

A recently-released comprehensive new MIT-led study of the potential for geothermal energy within the United States has found that Enhanced Geothermal System (EGS) technology could supply a substantial portion of US electricity well into the future, probably at competitive prices and with minimal environmental impact.

We have four tea estate in West Java, Indonesia. We are attempting to use clean renewable energy for our tea processing. Can we use heat-pump techonology to get some of our energy from the heat of the ground. Can you give us more on your products related to renewable clean energy.
