Wet dog walk this morning in #penarth 😳

#minewaterheat #cleanenergy #energysecurity #greenfuture #sustainableheating | Mining Remediation Authority In just two weeks, a new mine water heat energy centre in the North East has been built! 👷⚡ This scheme will harness warm water already being pumped to the surface at our Dawdon Mine Water Treatment ...

watch a mine water energy centre being constructed in time lapse ! will heat 750 home once complete www.linkedin.com/posts/mining...

This disused Gateshead mine could be the future for cheaper heating bills Mine water technology extracts heat from floodwaters to power homes and it is hoped it could be used for millions of homes across the country

Thanks to @aberuni.bsky.social for highlighting the phenomenal hard work of Drs @geomicrosoares.bsky.social @sararassner.bsky.social and team in mapping the microbiota of the South Wales coalfield. Prospects for future energy emerges from the legacy of fossil energy. academic.oup.com/femsec/artic...

Welsh mine microbes mapped to help heat homes Microbes mapped in south Wales’s abandoned coal mines could hold the key to using mine water to heat Britain’s homes. With an estimated one-quarter of UK properties located above abandoned coal mines,...

Interested in de-risking underground thermal energy storage?

BGS is forming a consortium to investigate how site-scale geological data can be used to optimise storage scheme performance.

Sound interesting? then we would love to hear from you:

UK geothermal energy review and cost estimations Research providing updates to the cost and technical assumptions for deep geothermal for power, and deep and shallow geothermal for heat.

Big report from DESNZ and ARUP - Levelized costs for Geothermal in the UK - deep, shallow, mine heat and closed loop - great stuff www.gov.uk/government/p...

Really useful report from #Pennsylvania JSGC - lots of opportunities for #minewaterheat ! - Unearthing the Potential of #Geothermal Energy Systems in Pennsylvania

Do share any good ones - also anything you can do with 200 apples that would be handy haha

Roasted a load for last nights pasta but that’s not too inventive ! Outside of that just eating fresh or on salads etc !

Can’t keep up with the garden tomatoes this year - bumper crop for once !

BGS has launched the UK Geothermal Platform, which provides national- to local-scale information on geothermal potential.

Geothermal technologies have the potential to decarbonise heating and cooling, supporting the energy transition to net zero in the UK.

My mum sent me this - one had landed on her jumper and was quite happy just sat there ! 😂 not sure how long it stayed

Nice had one in back garden recently - and one at my mums house - so I’m on exactly 2 this year too 😀

Drilling into coal mine workings: overview and experience from Britain's coalfields | Quarterly Journal of Engineering Geology and Hydrogeology Underground coal mining in Britain spanned several centuries, in multiple different seams, and at depths ranging from near surface to greater than 1 km below surface. Due to this complexity, drilling ...

I often hear that it is too difficult to drill into coal mines ....to de-risk this perception we looked at over 500 boreholes drilled into mine workings showing they can have high success rates - our open access paper is here lnkd.in/eVgFwjTe

Yes totally understand :)

Out of interest -what type of aquifer is the ground source heat scheme using ? Be interesting to see results if your able to share in the future :)

Did you know that you can now view all ~80 of our mine water treatment / control schemes and also see how much low carbon heat it could be possible to recover from them ?!
