After almost 40 years of hiatus, deep geothermal energy is making a comeback in the UK, thanks to the Eden Project in Cornwall, a botanical and ecosystem diversity resort in south-west England. This resort, dominated by two huge geodesic domes next to each other and home to thousands of plant species, will use the hot water reservoirs on which it sits, almost 5 kilometres underground,...

In the U.S., nearly $500 million from the Inflation and Infrastructure Reduction Act would go to clean energy projects in former coal mines. When a coal mine ceases to operate, it usually fills with water. At a certain depth, this water is heated by the heat of the Earth’s interior. By drilling boreholes, this heat can be extracted from the mines and transferred to buildings and...

Coinciding with the celebration of Earth Day on 22nd April, at Geoplat we have decided to highlight, once again, geothermal energy; the renewable energy that takes advantage of the heat emanating from the Earth’s core to the Earth’s crust. This makes it clean, efficient and the only renewable energy that is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Our current energy model is...
