Geothermal energy `could help meet CO2 emissions targets`
A renewable power source in the form of deep geothermal energy has been tipped by the government as a possible key to meeting carbon emissions reduction targets. Upon announcing the ear-marking of #163;6 million to fund research in this field, energy and climate change minister Lord Hunt said this technology could potentially meet two per cent of the UK`s annual demand. `Deep geothermal energy is an exciting and innovative technology that could provide clean, low carbon and renewable power and heat for the UK,` he added. Lord Hunt went on to note following the lead of the US and Australia in diversifying power supply could help to wean Britain off dependence on imported fossil fuels. The current operating geothermal energy station - the Southampton District Energy Scheme - has been functioning for years and saves an estimated 11,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide annually. Another body to invest heavily in this form of power is Google, which last year ago contributed more than $10 million (#163;6.05 million) to the study of this technology.
