More Geology round Keele!
DECC Deep Geothermal
Funding Announced
Christmas 2010
•
£500,000 to Keele University, to drill a 1200m borehole to provide
geothermal heat for their proposed sustainable campus;
•
Three geothermal projects run by Keele University, Newcastle and Durham
University and Cofely District Energy in Southampton have won a total of
£1.1 million in funding from the Government’s Deep Geothermal Challenge
Fund’s second round.
Minister of State for Energy and Climate Change Greg Barker said:
“I want to ensure that geothermal energy – which is both renewable
and can be produced locally – can become one of the energy
technologies of the future
•
•
£400,000 to a Newcastle/Durham University project to fund the drilling, hydraulic testing and
geophysical logging of a 2km deep borehole in central Newcastle;
£200,000 to Cofely District Energy Limited, to part fund the refit of the Southampton deep
geothermal well
But the Bad News
• Unfortunately DECC wanted it finished by
the end of the financial year i.e. 31 March
and it just couldn’t be done. Accepting it
would have meant we were at risk to the
tune of c £1 Million and so we had to pass
on this for now.
• Still hot down there though!
