June 2014 Economic Costs and Benefits of Geothermal Power 4 U.S. Energy Information Administration As part of the Annual Energy Outlook the Energy Information Administration collects and maintains information on the costs of many energy technologies.
Geothermal resources can be broadly grouped into shallow and deep geothermal. Shallow geothermal energy is the low-grade heat (10 to 25°C) that is stored in the shallow subsurface at depths of up to 500 m. It requires the use of ground-source heat pumps and can be used in most parts of the UK for the heating of buildings.

The Earth has an internal heat content of 10 joules (3·10 TWh), About 20% of this is residual heat from planetary accretion; the remainder is attributed to past and current radioactive decay of naturally occurring isotopes. For example, a 5275 m deep borehole in United Downs Deep Geothermal Power Project in Cornwall, England, found granite with very high thorium content, whose radioactive decay is believed to power the high temperature of the rock.
A landmark moment for renewable energy took place at the Eden Project in Cornwall today, Monday June 19, 2023, as the UK''s first operating deep geothermal heating plant since 1986 was opened and is now generating heat. Eden Project Biomes, plus new state-of-the-art nursery, will be heated using a 4km geothermal system, the
