New report assesses deep geothermal energy in the UK
A new BGS report assesses the current situation around and future potential of deep geothermal energy in the UK.
Geothermal energy
Geothermal energy is all energy stored in the form of heat beneath the surface of the solid earth. It is a reliable and constant source of low-carbon, renewable heat that is not dependent on weather conditions.
Applications
Geothermal energy resources occur in a broad range of geological settings. The BGS Geothermal team has experience in assessing and characterising shallow and deep geothermal resources.
