Climeon's clean technology and geothermal energy

Renewable Energy No Comments »

Geothermal power can revolutionize the way we see renewable electricity. It’s the only renewable source of energy that can produce a base-load of electricity 24/7. Geothermal has the potential to replace the world’s entire fossil fuel based electricity production.

Deep Geothermal at EDEN PROJECT | FULLY CHARGED

Could geothermal power be the future of electricity generation? Robert visits Cornwall to find out how Eden Geothermal are unlocking geothermal energy in the granite beneath the ground.

Their seriously impressive geothermal drilling rig might be the same kit you use to drill for oil and gas, but instead they are targeting clean, natural, sustainable energy from the rocks deep below. This is the first phase of a two well development which will completely power the eco-focused Eden Project making it carbon neutral as well as potentially power 17,000 surrounding houses.

What is really exciting about this project is that it feels like the beginning of a new geothermal energy industry could be on the horizon.
