United Kingdom: One Day Geothermal Conference in London

6th UK Geothermal Symposium (The Geological Society)

16 October 2017, Burlington House, London


Over half of UK energy demand is associated with the production of heat and the nation is heavily reliant on gas to produce this yet the UK has been a net importer of gas for over a decade. Geothermal energy offers the UK an opportunity to decarbonise heat supply using a secure resource which is accessible to most regions. Development of geothermal energy also aligns well with government aspirations for future heat supply via heat networks.

The economic and technical risks to geothermal energy growth have driven the search for innovative solutions for accessing geothermal heat and electricity. This includes recovering heat from abandoned mining infrastructure and the promotion of single well systems. The 6th Symposium will celebrate recent progress in geothermal energy development by including a variety of presentations from industry, local government and academia. There will also be ample opportunities for networking during the lunch and the drinks reception.
