Abstract
Geothermal energy could play a pivotal role in the decarbonisation of the heat sector. Delays in its development will impede progress towards achieving Northern Ireland’s Net Zero ambitions. Substantial geothermal energy potential exists across much of Ireland due to the availability of geothermal heat at accessible depths. This creates an opportunity to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve energy security and create new jobs in the renewable energy sector. To date, decarbonisation of the heat sector across the island has been slow. This paper focuses on the existing barriers to success for geothermal energy development in Northern Ireland and outlines the legislative changes required to unlock the sector.
