地热能是一种稳定、可靠的能源，有可能在英国建筑物供暖脱碳方面发挥关键作用。目前，可再生能源未得到充分利用，仅占英国可再生能源使用量的4.5%，其中一个重要原因是缺乏应对环境影响和支持私人投资的明确监管框架。本文确定了浅层和深层地热能源的环境和金融风险，并分析了当前监管制度是否、如何以及在多大程度上解决了这些风险。它认为，对环境影响的监管是零碎的，建议改革监管制度，以涵盖所有地热能源系统和业务。这篇文章还发现，目前的管理框架未能解决浅层和深层地热能源作业的重大前期成本，或它们所依赖的地热资源可能耗尽的问题。它强调需要建立一种监管制度，保护地热资源不被过度开采，平衡多个用户的利益，并提供财政奖励，以鼓励浅层和深层地热能源行业的增长。
Geothermal energy is a constant, reliable source of energy which has the potential to play a key role in decarbonisation of the heating of buildings in the UK. At present it is underutilized, making up just 4.5 per cent of renewable energy used in the UK, and a significant reason for this is the lack of clear regulatory framework for addressing the environmental impacts and supporting private investment. This article identifies the environmental and financial risks of both shallow and deep geothermal energy and analyses if, how, and to what extent they are addressed in the current regulatory regime. It finds that regulation of the environmental impacts is piecemeal and recommends reform of the regulatory regime to cover all geothermal energy systems and operations. This article also finds that the current regulatory framework fails to address the significant upfront costs of both shallow and deep geothermal energy operations or the potential for depletion of the geothermal resource on which they depend. It highlights the need for a regulatory regime that protects geothermal energy resources from overabstraction and balances the interests of multiple users, and for financial incentives to encourage growth of both the shallow and deep geothermal energy industries.
