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.
