A 400-Year-Old Tudor Mansion Just Chose Next-Gen Geothermal  And It Changes Everything Posted by  Robert Buluma | December 11, 2025 Deep in the rolling countryside of Suffolk, England, stands Kentwell Hall ,a moated, red-brick Tudor masterpiece built in 1563, complete with octagonal guard towers, a 16th-century long gallery, and gardens that have hosted queens. For centuries it has been heated (if you can call it that) by a wheezing, century-old oil boiler that gulps thousands of litres of heating oil every winter yet still leaves the 400-year-old rooms chilly and the fuel bills astronomical. That is about to change , dramatically, invisibly, and permanently. This week it was announced that Kentwell Hall has selected CeraPhi Energy , a British deep-geothermal pioneer, to carry out a world-first feasibility study and, if successful, install a closed-loop deep geothermal heating system that will make the entire estate net-zero with almost zero visible impact on the Grade I list...

UK’s Deepest Geothermal Heating System Goes Live: Scunthorpe General Hospital Leads NHS Net-Zero Revolution with CeraPhi Energy’s 550m CeraPhiWell™ Project By:  Robert Buluma December 2025 – In a landmark moment for British clean energy and healthcare decarbonisation, CeraPhi Energy has begun installing the UK’s deepest closed-loop geothermal heat systems at Scunthorpe General Hospital, part of the Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust. The project, which started in October 2025 and is on track for completion by February 2026, repurposes an existing 550-metre borehole into a revolutionary CeraPhiWell™ system that will deliver continuous, low-carbon baseload heat to the entire hospital campus. Why This Project Matters for UK Geothermal Energy Geothermal energy has long been seen as the “missing piece” in the UK’s net-zero puzzle. While wind and solar dominate renewable headlines, they are intermittent. Hospitals, however, need 24/7 reliable heat – exactly what deep ...
