BGS Seeks Your Input: Shaping the Future of Geothermal Subsurface Data for Shallow Heat Pumps Across Great Britain
UK's British Geological Survey Seeks Your Input: Shaping the Future of Shallow Geothermal Data Products for Net Zero Heating By: Robert Buluma The British Geological Survey (BGS) , in collaboration with Energy Systems Catapult (ESC), is gearing up to revolutionize how we access and use subsurface data for shallow geothermal energy—and they're actively asking for stakeholder feedback right now! Published on 24 February 2026, this exciting initiative aims to turn BGS's vast geological expertise and datasets into practical, user-friendly products that accelerate the rollout of ground source heat pumps (GSHPs) and other shallow geothermal solutions across Great Britain. With the UK's ambitious Net Zero targets demanding low-carbon heating alternatives, this could be a game-changer for buildings, heat networks, and decarbonization efforts. Why This Project Matters Shallow geothermal technologies, like closed-loop GSHPs, tap into the stable temperatures just below ground le...
