Irish geothermal pioneer Causeway GT is joining forces with oil industry giant Baker Hughes to work on developing the energy source for industries.
Geothermal heat is a constantly available source of energy generated by rocks beneath the earth’s surface, where they are closer to the planet’s molten core. Efforts to exploit it are at an early stage. CausewayGT, founded by former Petroceltic chief, Brian O’Cathain and several exploration industry figures, has signed a memo of understanding with US-based Baker Hughes to collaborate on geothermal projects.and Britain, where they will work on technology meant to provide low-carbon heating and cooling for large industries, according to a statement on Tuesday.
They will also deploy the US group’s technology on CausewayGT’s demonstration project at Europa Oil and Gas’s West Firsby field in Lincolnshire in
