Summary
A study of the geology under the Scottish Event Campus (SEC) found it could support a deep geothermal heat recovery system.
It has been estimated that up to 52 gigawatt-hours of power and 76 gigawatts of heat every year might be produced — the equivalent of the annual energy captured by solar panels from an area the size of 190 football pitches.
Geothermal heat recovery involves drilling deep wells to capture the natural heat held in the earth’s subsurface, which is then used to drive turbines or provide energy for a district heating system.
