Summary
A new Project InnerSpace report finds the UK holds vast geothermal potential for heat and power, but policy, risk-sharing and anchor demand are needed to unlock it.
The report draws on a handful of UK projects to illustrate both potential and constraints. The Southampton District Energy Scheme, operating since the 1980s from a deep Triassic aquifer, is presented as proof that urban geothermal heat can deliver long-term carbon savings and lower consumer bills. Minewater schemes in Gateshead and industrial sites such as Lanchester Wines show how former coalfields can be repurposed into reliable low-temperature heat sources.
