Introduction: UK’s onshore geothermal energy potential and how to progress it

Highland Geology Limited 20th February 2025

The child pages in this part of the website show the geology of around 20 locations in northern onshore UK basins where, in our opinion, groundwater in the temperature range 70-100 degrees Centigrade can be brought to surface at rates adequate to run through an ORC turbine system, giving commercial electricity generation. ORC (Organic Rankine Cycle) turbine technology wasn’t available in previous decades, it is now a proven enabler for low-temperature geothermal developments, with projects running in USA, Canada, India, Germany.
