It will be shown that by capitalising on pre-existing, inactive, fault structures that are aligned with favourable, vertical stress regimes will benefit deep geothermal in two ways. Partnering with OR and conducting demonstration activities in the Cornwall site, S4CE will demonstrate for the first time how to reduce both the cost and the risk of renewable energy projects based on geothermal operations.
Currently, energy production via EGT energy is limited because of the high costs and the high risks.
