Geothermal Conference Tackles Barriers to Growth

The future for energy saving geothermal schemes in Britain will be debated at a conference in London on 20th November. The event, organised by leading consultancy Zenith International, is the first specifically to address the barriers to UK geothermal growth. It will bring together regulators, industry experts and policy makers to discuss how best to encourage and manage the development of geothermal technology.

Speakers include: Michael Feliks, Deputy Director of Heat Policy at the Department for Business Enterprise and Regulatory Reform (BERR); Mark Morton, Senior Policy Adviser at the Environment Agency; David Banks of Holymoor Consultancy; John Lindup of HRBC Consulting; Michael Foley of The Energy Practice; and Emily Flatt from OFGEM as well as Zenith geothermal experts. Sessions will cover policy drivers such as the UK renewable energy strategy and the existing framework for regulation before tackling the way forward and turning strategy into practice.

“The current planning and regulatory framework does not effectively support the development of new geothermal schemes, even though they could significantly contribute to low carbon targets and greener buildings,†commented Zenith International Water & Environment Director Dr Ric Horobin. “While the sector continues to grow steadily, its increasing significance now requires a clear strategic regulatory direction that recognises the role it has to play within the mix of renewable energy sources.â€

The conference programme is designed for all those with an interest in the success of renewable energy systems, including policy makers, regulators, environmental consultants, property developers and contractors, public and planning authorities, building service engineers and suppliers.
