In this episode of Grid Talk, host Marty Rosenberg talks with Michael Sachse who is the CEO of Dandelion Energy. Dandelion Energy’s mission is to enable the widespread adoption of geothermal.

“If you think about what we need to decarbonize, heating’s really a challenge because so much about heating comes from burning natural gas; a lot of homes burn fuel oil, and so really, we got focused on that problem,” said Sachse.

The company offers homeowners affordable geothermal heating & cooling systems as an alternative to gas, oil, propane, or electric heating.

“There’s a strong and growing emotional sense that people want to be sustainable, and they want to make investments that are going to speak to their values.”

Sachse also talks about the cost of installing geothermal heat pumps and how long it takes for a unit to pay for itself.

Michael Sachse is an experienced executive who has previously scaled start-ups through periods of rapid growth. Sachse was previously CEO of Stardog, an Entrepreneur-in-Residence at NEA, and Chief Marketing Officer at Opower, where he helped to guide the company through its IPO and acquisition by Oracle. Sachse is a graduate of Amherst College and Harvard Law School.

Snippet: “Geothermal is a terrific fit for any part of the country that has hot summers and cold winters.”
