The climate crisis necessitates a rapid, transformative change in our energy systems, and a host of companies will be involved in this energy transition, including those previously involved in the fossil fuel sector. Energy companies that have traditionally been associated with fossil fuel extraction have the technical knowhow and financial resource to rapidly develop and...
February 2024 saw the start of a highly anticipated explorative geothermal drilling programme on campus. The aim of the work is to understand the potential for low carbon geothermal heating and cooling, to contribute to the University of Leeds' Climate Plan achieving our goal of net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. Geosolutions Leeds researchers...
