Geothermal to Accelerate the Decarbonisation of UK Heat
The decarbonisation of Heat is a major challenge for the UK. It represents approximately 50% of our energy use, ranking ahead of Transport and Power.

We frequently see and hear discussions in the media about the decarbonisation of Power via renewable energy and the challenges of grid capacity and grid upgrades. Progress on Transport is a constant theme of discussion in the public eye regarding EV adoption.
Despite its size and relevance, it feels like Heat is being left behind in the conversation. Our overreliance on Gas for Heat is a major obstacle on our pathway to meet our decarbonisation goals.
UK is dominated by fossil fuel gas – with 85% or about 24.5 million homes heated by natural gas - Energy Systems Catapult
