However and wherever we use it, deep geothermal plants would allow us to recruit from an entirely different workforce and an existing part of the economy in delivering net zero, and this is a workforce on which we already lead. Our oil and gas industry is one of the best in the western world, with world-beating companies and workforces with a long history of success not just in the North sea but globally. Deep geothermal provides us the opportunity to recruit that workforce to drilling for clean, green heat instead of fossil fuels. This will not only help us to get to net zero more quickly, but help this industry transition, with all the jobs it currently holds, investments in pension funds and other things, so that they can contribute positively to net zero.
