What Singapore’s geothermal study can—and cannot—tell us
A feasibility study is a step towards an energy decision, rather than a commitment to build a power plant.
Read the stage of the project
In an April announcement, Singapore’s Energy Market Authority set out plans to study next-generation geothermal systems. The work would examine technical, environmental and commercial feasibility, building on a nationwide geophysical survey. [1]
This is background to the country’s energy research, not a fresh announcement of an operating plant. Identifying underground heat and deciding whether it can support a practical project are different questions.
