Revisiting the Deep Geothermal Potential of the Cheshire Basin, UK

Abstract: Deep geothermal energy can aid in the decarbonization of heat within the UK; this is required to meet net zero carbon emissions targets by 2050. The Cheshire Basin represents a significant opportunity for the development of deep geothermal resources; there are vast quantities of high permeability sandstones in hydraulic continuity, with temperatures favorable for direct heat use and, potentially, for power generation. Newly produced basal temperature maps in this study indicate the likely maximum temperatures … Show more

“…This is unlikely to occur at depth, particularly over large portions of the DBHE, and it is reasonable to conclude that in most systems, groundwater flows will inflict a minor impact on heat extraction. Although in some rare scenarios, such as the Mesozoic Basins across the UK, sandstone thicknesses can reach 2 km and it is possible groundwater could impact DBHE performance under these conditions (Brown 2023).…”
