Stephen Bowler, IGas CEO, added: "We are delighted to be working with SSE as we seek to deliver this flagship renewable project for the city of Stoke-on-Trent. SSE is leading the way in developing the low-carbon assets and infrastructure required for the UK to reach its target of net zero emissions by 2050. We are also working closely with other energy providers on a number of district heat networks in other cities. Both the BGS report and the ARUP report, published in May this year, support the need for deep geothermal in the Government's energy policy for the next 30 years, but with real and tangible benefits in the immediate future. Deep geothermal has the potential to become a world leading industry here in the UK, provide a stable transition away from oil and gas, and help meet the Government's net zero ambitions by decarbonising heat on a mass scale. It would also create 1,000s of new jobs and generate tens of millions of pounds in new investment."
