Inspired by Recent Investigations in Geology (3 lectures by Prof Ansted, 1867-1868 Lecture Season)
David Thomas Ansted F.R.S. (5 February 1814 – 13 May 1880) was an English professor of geology and author of numerous books on geology.
Talk 3: The heating potential of geothermal energy
The International Energy Agency identifies that almost half of building energy demand was for space and water heating. In the UK, the heating of buildings (homes, commercial, and public) accounts for 23% of carbon emissions. So, as part of a least-cost pathway to meet our net-zero commitment, there are targets to expand the use of heat networks by 2050. Geothermal energy could provide a sustainable and widely accessible option for heating and contribute to the expansion of low-carbon heat networks. The utilization of geothermal energy for heat is established, but the successful exploration and characterization of geothermal resources is in its infancy in the UK. In this talk, we will explore the role that it can play in providing low-carbon and secure energy.
