the underground and the most appropriate technologies to harvest that subsurface heat. What must happen next? Geothermal energy can and should be considered in the overall green energy mix required for decarbonisation, given its wide availability and capacity to deliver baseload energy. In a changing world battling with energy security and the race to net zero, it makes perfect sense to increase efforts and global policies to realise the potential of geothermal. While an attractive geothermal energy source could very likely be sitting right beneath your feet, due to a lack of understanding, there remains a high level of apprehension to implement it as a practical solution as part of a business’s carbon reduction strategies. Though, with many organisations still unclear on how to integrate geothermal into their decarbonisation strategies, collaboration with experts in the field will remain key. At Getech, we leverage our decades of subsurface skills and work alongside our technology partners to identify what decarbonisation solution will work
best for each individual business’s site. In order to be sustainable, businesses’ decarbonisation pathways must be moulded around the respective organisation’s ambitions, budget, energy needs, location, and risk appetite. By being forward-thinking and beginning to map out how different low-carbon technologies can be integrated and optimised into current business models, stakeholders can successfully future-proof their energy landscape of tomorrow while escaping any potential government- imposed burdens (such as carbon taxes) linked with relying on fossil fuels. In a changing world, it is time to make more of a case to highlight the potential of geothermal energy in helping reach the ultimate goal of net zero. Getech is a provider of unique earth science data, using advanced analytics and AI to locate the essential subsurface energy and mineral resources needed to deliver a successful energy transition to a net zero economy.
