Fully Charged Show - Geothermal Can TRANSFORM Dirty Coal Mines into Clean Energy Hotbeds, 23032023

Geothermal energy is abundant, continuous and often untapped. In this episode the "Fully Charged Show" look at how this clean energy source could provide 100% of the UK's heating needs. Dr Helen Czerski went to Newcastle Upon Tyne to see one massive bore hole and to Gateshead to find out how coal mines could be transformed into renewable energy infrastructure

Just have a Think - Geothermal ground source heat pumps. Heating your home from your own back yard, 04102020

Geothermal energy could be potentially transformational for our power grids. But it could also be used for domestic heating. The technology is called a Ground Source Heat Pump. They've been around for a while but they are growing very quickly in popularity and may prove to be one of the lynch pins in helping us get to carbon neutrality by 2050
