This presentation features IGas Energy’s chief executive, Chris Hopkinson, discussing the company’s pivot towards geothermal energy. He highlights a major opportunity within the UK’s evolving energy policy.
Hopkinson remarks on the UK government’s inconsistent approach to shale gas policy, describing it as “surprising” given the national energy demand. Despite the uncertainty, IGas sees potential in shifting capital and expertise to geothermal projects.
The video emphasises the alignment between oil and gas drilling skills and the requirements of geothermal development. Hopkinson points out that the firm’s existing infrastructure and technical team could support geothermal exploration at scale.
