White Energy's Blue Geo service includes: - technical-economic feasibility analysis; - administrative and contractual support; - measurement and certification of useful thermal energy; - access to the Blue Certificates® mechanism. The page states that Blue Certificates® can be combined with other national incentives. ## Operating model The Blue Geo model is based on a defined flow of thermal energy, measurement and incentives: - **NewCo or heat managing entity:** produces geothermal thermal energy and manages the distribution network. - **Certified heat energy meter:** measures the heat delivered between the operator and the customer and supports billing of distributed thermal energy. - **End customer:** may be a business, hotel, agricultural facility or healthcare facility using heat supplied by the network. With certified metering and heat tracking, the operator can access Blue Certificates® (CeBs), described on the page as an annual economic incentive based on useful heat distributed. ## Target sector The page highlights hotels, resorts and medium-to-large hospitality facilities that use geothermal heat pumps for heating, air conditioning and domestic hot water. It identifies the hotel sector as a major potential beneficiary because of its high thermal demand and the associated comfort and sustainability objectives. ## Case study: Hotel Ariston Molino Buja Hotel Ariston Molino Buja is described as a historic four-star hotel in Abano Terme specializing in thermal and wellness stays. The facility implemented Blue Geo to certify and enhance geothermal energy used in its thermal and air-conditioning systems and to access incentives linked to the Blue Certificates® mechanism. | Result | Value | |---|---:| | Thermal energy consumed (CDI) | About 490 MWh_th per semester | | Average tax credit accrued | About €11,100 per semester | ## Case study: Abano Grand Hotel Abano Grand Hotel, part of the GB Hotels group, is described as a five-star luxury hotel in the Euganean thermal basin. It uses the Blue Geo model with geothermal energy integrated into heating and domestic-water systems, with the stated goal of improving operational sustainability and benefiting from CDI incentives. | Result | Value | |---|---:| | Thermal energy consumed (CDI) | About 560 MWh_th per semester | | Average tax credit accrued | About €13,300 per semester | ## Frequently asked questions ### What are Blue Certificates®? The page describes them as an incentive for heat distributed through geothermal networks or geothermal heat-pump systems and used in production processes or environmental heating. ### Who is Blue Geo for? Companies, entities and facilities that use heat from geothermal sources for direct heating, domestic hot water or production processes. ### Can Blue Certificates® be combined with other incentives? The page states that the system is compatible with TEE, Conto Termico 2.0, the All-Inclusive Tariff and other renewable-energy tools. ### How long does the benefit last? Blue Certificates® are awarded annually while the system continues to meet regulatory requirements and heat is measured and tracked in a compliant manner. ## Related links - [Blue Geo brochure](https://weeg.it/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/WE_Scheda_Blue_Geo_WEB-1.pdf) - [How Blue Geo works](https://weeg.it/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/WE_Sw_SE_Servizi_SCHEDA_Blue_Geo.pdf) - [Hotel sector](https://weeg.it/en/energy-efficiency-and-renewables-for-every-sector/hotel-sector/)
