Geothermal Energy
A sub-page of ENERGY/Generation
A freely available geothermal energy information hub, provided by DESNZ. Summary layers provide a map overview of geothermal energy potential for four technologies, whilst a map explorer and a data access page enable you to view more detailed geoscientific datasets from several organisations. A user guide and examples are also provided.
Renewable geothermal and related underground thermal-energy storage technologies have the potential to decarbonise heating, cooling and energy storage across the UK as it moves towards net zero emissions. The potential varies, depending on the subsurface geology and type of technology. Some areas of the UK currently have potential for geothermal power and heat, and innovations being demonstrated globally are likely to broaden those areas.
