Current status of ground source heat pumps and underground thermal energy storage in Europe

TL;DR: Geothermal heat pumps as mentioned in this paper use the earth as a heat source when operating in heating mode, with a fluid (usually water or a water-antifreeze mixture) as the medium that transfers the heat from the earth to the evaporator of the heat pump, thus utilising geothermal energy.
