Geothermal energy found at shallow depths – also known as ground source heat – can be used for heating and cooling buildings, offices and factories. We have produced maps and user guides to help people find out more about the resource and where to find it.

Geological Survey Ireland has carried out numerous investigations throughout the country. Click the link below to learn about previous and ongoing Geothermal investigations. ​

Geological Survey Ireland are developing the National Geothermal Database (NGD) to drive the adoption of geothermal energy in Ireland. The purpose of the database is to collect high quality publicly available data to encourage sustainable geothermal development and inform policy.
