​The Future of Geothermal in the UK

Affordable, Renewable, and Locally Produced Energy for a Resilient Future

The UK holds vast untapped geothermal resources capable of delivering secure, renewable heat and firm power. Project InnerSpace’s Future of Geothermal in the United Kingdom is a groundbreaking multi-disciplinary and cross-collaborative study featuring twenty authors from over ten institutions and entities across the UK, and provides a roadmap for building geothermal energy into a cornerstone of the nation’s energy system, while reducing energy bills and creating thousands of skilled jobs.

The report was undertaken in a collaboration between Project InnerSpace and authors and contributors from Newcastle University, Durham University, Imperial College, National Geothermal Centre, Net Zero Technology Centre, University of Glasgow, ARUP, Renewable Energy Association (REA), Sidley Austin, Eden Geothermal, and University of Manchester
