[en] Reducing energy consumption and greenhouse gases emissions is a constant and major challenge. The valorization of low-depth subsurface energy resources has been considered for the last few years as an efficient alternative to traditional heating methods. This is called near surface geothermal science. Many devices are currently available in order to extract and use the heat contained in soils. This article thus offers to review the current devises and assess the techniques. The principle and functioning of heat pumps in surface geothermal science are notably described as well as the performances observed
