Multi-disciplinary and multi-scale research project aimed at decreasing risk associated with harnessing geothermal energy in Ireland and improving accuracy of deep geothermal resource estimation by building on existing datasets and modelling knowledge.

Project applying new exploration and drilling techniques for deep geothermal resources, specifically demonstrating how deep standing column wells offer economic advantage as a renewable source of heat.

Research project developing methodology to estimate the potential of underground heat exchange in shallow installations, focusing primarily on vertical closed-loop collectors.
