Cornwall-based geothermal company GeoScience has won a bid to complete a study into the viability of a mine water heat network from abandoned mines in the west of the county.
Cornwall Council, the National Trust, LiveWest and Pendeen Community Heritage recently partnered to commission the study with funding from the Department of Energy Security & Net Zero.
The Falmouth company, alongside its consortium partners TownRock Energy, Tomson Consulting, Carrak Consulting, Tony Bennett and the University of Exeter, will collect data from three mine sites located within the Penwith Peninsula; Geevor, Levant and Botallack.
