PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
(22 July 2025)

We know that to achieve net zero, we must look at how to utilise all low carbon technologies including geothermal. The Government understands that geothermal can play a role in our decarbonisation ambitions particularly as a source for low carbon heat. As such, the Government has existing schemes where geothermal projects can bid in for funding support, including power (Contracts for Difference) and heat (Green Heat Network Fund). The Department continues to engage with the geothermal sector, academia, and international partners to improve understanding of geothermal energy’s role in achieving net zero.
