Geothermal Energy: Investment
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps his Department is taking to invest in Geothermal energy.
- Answer
-
We know that to achieve net zero, we must look at how we can accelerate the potential of all low carbon technologies including geothermal.
The Government understands that geothermal can play a role in decarbonising heat particularly as a heat source for heat networks.
We provide support through the Green Heat Network Fund (GHNF) for the construction and expansion of low-carbon heat networks including those that utilise deep or shallow geothermal heat.
