Scottish Developers to Investigate Geothermal Well Potential (Business Green)

A coalition of organisations hopes to open a new Deep Geothermal Single Well in Aberdeen within 12 months following award of Scottish government grant



Geothermal Engineering Ltd, consultancy firm Arup, and St. Andrews University are to embark on a joint venture to investigate the feasibility of implementing Deep Geothermal Single Well (DGSW) technology, after securing £45,000 of funding from the Scottish Government.

The money, granted from the Geothermal Energy Challenge Fund's £250,000 budget, will allow the group to undertake a techno-economic assessment of installing a DGSW system at the proposed Aberdeen Exhibition and Conference Centre.
