Embark on Cornwall's journey to revolutionise sustainable heat and power through geothermal innovation. Rooted in a granite batholith, Cornwall's geothermal potential offers a unique opportunity to decarbonise heat and generate baseload power.
🔍 Key Highlights:
⛏️Ground-breaking Technology: The United Downs project showcases brand new technology, with a lifetime carbon assessment of less than 15 grams of CO2 per kilowatt-hour—an essential step toward achieving net zero goals.
🌱 Scalable Sustainability: Scaling up to five megawatts, Cornwall's geothermal source has the potential to power 10,000 homes, making a significant contribution to the decarbonisation of the grid.
🌍Real-world Impact: Real-world projects, such as Eden Geothermal and the Langarth Garden Village district heating scheme, exemplify Cornwall's commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and implementing sustainable energy solutions.
