University of York Launches £35M Deep Geothermal Energy Project for Campus Heating
The University of York has launched a £35 million Deep Geothermal Energy Project to utilize heated water from 2.5 miles underground for campus heating, significantly reducing fossil fuel use by 78%. Funded by government support, the initiative includes drilling two boreholes and may also provide heating for local communities and generate electricity.

The University of York has initiated the Deep Geothermal Energy Project to extract heated water from 2.5 miles below ground to warm its entire campus. The project, backed by £35 million in government funding, aims to reduce fossil fuel use by 78% and could also provide heating for nearby communities and generate electricity. The process involves drilling two boreholes to channel water through heat exchangers for the university's heating system.
