Geo thermal energy or Ground source energy exists throughout the UK. You do not need to be in Volcanic regions to tap into geo thermal energy.

The ground  temperature in the UK  at a depth of 50 meters is a constant 11-13C. This means that you have a constant source of energy which can be used to heat  buildings in winter and cool them in summer.

A ground source heat pump is  a highly efficient engine that works on the same principle as your fridge. Pipes are buried in the ground via long trenches or a bore hole. These pipes extract the thermal energy and  transfer it via a heat exchanger to water which can heat your home. The standard systems use under floor heating pipes which circulate hot water under the floor and piped radiators for higher floors.

The heat pumps are powered by electricity which can be sourced from renewables means.

Ground source heat pumps are a very efficient and environmentally friendly source of energy. They can be implemented anywhere but the latest insulation standard homes make these the most economical to implement.
