Online consultation via Citizen Space - Consultation closes on Friday, 25th March
The British Geological Survey (BGS) has conducted extensive work across the whole of Scotland to discover the potential of the energy beneath our feet.
The BGS have discovered a substantial wealth of untapped geothermal energy throughout the central belt of Scotland. This renewable energy resource is especially abundant in the Clackmannanshire area. The BGS has identified several locations where this natural resource can be extracted safely from the rocks and this includes areas that are linked to old, disused mine shafts, where drilling into the ground in well documented locations is easily achieved. This will enable geothermal installation companies to draw this heated water resource from the pockets of water trapped within old mine shafts.
For more information, please refer to the BGS Deep Geothermal Energy report.
