Geothermal and ground energy
The natural heat held within the ground represents a resilient and reliable source of low carbon energy.
Arup provides a full range of services related to both shallow and deep geothermal engineering. We provide due diligence on potential transactions and full design services. We also support environmental and social impact assessments and provide regulatory engagement.
We provide policy support to the governments of the UK, Indonesia, and Singapore on developing and accelerating growth in geothermal energy. We have contributed to guidance documents for both shallow and deep geothermal engineering best practice. We have also published our work in leading journals such as Science Advances.
We have helped our clients to successful outcomes, ranging from a $1.2 billion USD investment into EDC, the largest geothermal company in the world, to the first geothermal power project in the UK (United Downs), to the first geothermal heat plant by Johnson & Johnson Global (at their Janssen Pharmaceutica campus in Belgium).
