United Downs Deep Geothermal Power is the first geothermal electricity project in the UK. It is the natural progression of the Camborne School of Mines led Cornish Hot Dry Rocks (HDR) project, undertaken in the 1980s at Rosemanowes Quarry, designed to test and prove the theory of inducing a fracture network within the heat-producing granite to create a geothermal reservoir. Situated near Redruth in Cornwall, England, the project has now proven that harnessing geothermal energy is possible in the UK, encountering temperatures and fluid flow rates that are capable of driving a steam turbine to generate electricity. The project has also unexpectedly enabled the extraction of Lithium. More information...
