| Construction of the geothermal well near Penryn, Cornwall. |
It is a trial project, which aims to provide a cheap, quick method of delivering deep geothermal heat.
Dr Ryan Law, managing director of Geothermal Engineering, told NCE: “The project was installed about two months ago and we have been running trials ever since. It is not designed to deliver power but will deliver around 0.5 MW of heat, enough for 400 apartments or equivalent.
“The system is aimed at a very different market to large scale geothermal power plants. The aim is to install and connect directly to heat loads such as greenhouses, apartments, schools and swimming pools.
“It has been developed to test a new technology we have developed to deliver deep geothermal heat from single wells. It is not aimed at generating power.”
Geothermal Engineering said it will announce a number of other projects over the next 12 months.
