In 2016 Paetoro began a regional look at the geothermal potential of the UK.  The potential in the UK is no secret and has been known about since the 1970's and 1980's.  Indeed, as the picture from Bath above reminds us, it has been put to good use since Roman times.  Today several companies are working to utilise the potential of radiothermal granites in Cornwall for geothermal power. 

Where Paetoro is fixing its attention in the UK is on the Permo-Triassic hot sedimentary aquifers that occur in many regions of the country.  Here the objective is not heat for power, but heat for direct use in industry, agriculture, horticulture, and water and space heating.  Large businesses that are interested in long term multi-decade price stability for large project 24/7 heat supply have a lot to gain by investigating what geothermal may be able to offer.  Southern UK, Lincolnshire and Yorkshire, Worcestershire, Cheshire, and Northern Ireland, have significant potential.  Paetoro has spent some time scoping the regional potential and is happy to discuss the subject further.  A report is available from the Paetoro store for those seriously interested.
