Is deep geothermal energy the missing piece in the UK’s green transition?
In this episode of E+T Off the Page, hosts Tim Fryer and Jack Loughran sit down with Dr. Ryan Law, CEO of Geothermal Engineering Limited, to look inside the UK's first operational deep geothermal power plant at United Downs in Cornwall.
The episode covers how geothermal energy succeeds as a reliable, green, 24/7 base-load power source where intermittent options like wind and solar face daily challenges. Dr. Law also explains the massive ”lithium bonus,” detailing how extracting critical minerals directly from deep geothermal fluids is completely reshaping the economic landscape of clean energy.
The discussion also dives into the real-world logistics of deep-earth engineering, exploring the unique financial, planning, and scaling hurdles facing the industry in the UK today.
