GOAL
to develop an investable business case for initially repurposing existing but non-operational onshore gas wells into geothermal energy wells.
Overview
Old oil, gas and coal workings are a potential for large amounts of renewable heat. The key challenge is the commercial viability of extracting the heat and transporting it to where it is required. The rural nature of many of these sites means that there is a scarcity of nearby heat demands.
Solutions
Nordic Energy developed the business cases including energy demand modelling, heat density mapping, aerial imagery.
Cross checking building data against Energy Performance Certificate and Planning registers.
Analysis of heat for use in glasshouses
Key Statistics
3km deep wells
Temperatures at these depths are as high as 90°C
