Answer
We recognise the potential for deep geothermal energy to provide low‑carbon heat to parts of the National Health Service estate. However, opportunities depend on local geology, and a number of practical constraints need to be considered. The Department continues to work with the wider Government and NHS England to improve understanding of how all low‑carbon technologies, including forms of geothermal energy, can support the NHS in contributing to the Government’s net‑zero ambitions.
