Hello, The current delivery mechanism we use for these data is through a view only platform, providing easy and greater access than previously possible. As we are able to invest in our delivery systems further, other functionality will be considered.

These abandoned mine plans are part of a collection of over 70 000 plans now delivered through the viewer, including sixteen different plan types such as open cast, quarry and cave plans. The portal can be searched by geographical area, mineral or mine name.

Whilst these eight regions display many of the right geological ingredients, further investigation will be required to fully establish each region’s true potential, ensure safe deployment of each technology, and understand environmental impact.

The subsurface has a vital role to play in the energy transition, acting as an enabler and helping deliver economic growth by providing: a sustainable heat source for geothermal energy; geological formations for secure storage of energy and carbon dioxide (CO2)...

Whilst other parts of the UK benefit from geology well suited to certain net zero technologies such as shallow geothermal installations, these geological super regions contain subsurface formations and conditions that are favourable to multiple different technologies within a relatively small area.
