The Scottish Government has said it will continue to pursue the development of a geothermal project including work on feasibility projects around the Aberdeen Exhibition and Conference Centre and Hill of Banchory.
Aberdeenshire East MSP Gillian Martin said: “The potential for geothermal energy in the region is already known. It is important we identify the potential opportunities for our energy security.
“At a time when many workers are still facing redundancies as a result of the continued global downturn in the oil price it is positive work is continuing to look at potential alternatives for jobs growth.”
