Summary

Interim comments on UK’s geothermal energy potential and how to progress it

Highland Geology Limited 10th October 2024

The child pages along with this one 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 a heat exchanger for resulting vapour to spin a bi-turbine set, giving commercial electricity generation. High-efficiency turbine technology wasn’t available in previous decades and it is an enabler for low-temperature geothermal developments.
