The study highlights “exciting possibilities for sustainable energy in Glasgow
The site which hosted the COP26 climate conference has been identified as suitable for an “exciting” sustainable energy project that could heat up to 6,500 homes.
It has been estimated that up to 52 gigawatt-hours of power and 76 gigawatts of heat every year might be produced — the equivalent of the annual energy captured by solar panels from an area the size of 190 football pitches. Councillor Angus Millar, the city’s climate and Green Deal convener, said there is still “considerable work” needed before “we are drawing energy from deep below the city” but the “path before us is now much clearer”.Geothermal heat recovery involves drilling deep wells to capture the natural heat held in the earth’s subsurface, which is then used to drive turbines or provide energy for a district heating system.
