Geothermal Gemini Project
Overview
GEMINI, Geothermal Energy Momentum on the Island of Ireland, is a cross-border geothermal energy demonstration project.
The GDA is taking part in this project with TU Dublin with the aim of decarbonizing the heat source for the Grangegorman District Heating System, which is currently powered by gas boilers.
The project will drill an exploration well (about 2 km deep) to provide data on the geothermal potential for this site and others on the island where the geology is similar. If it is successfully demonstrated that deep geothermal energy can be used for heating at this location, GDA and TU Dublin will explore investment to use renewable geothermal energy as the resource for the district heating system.
