GEMINI – Geothermal Project Accelerates Ireland’s Renewable Energy Transition

The GEMINI (Geothermal Energy Momentum on the Island of Ireland) project continues to advance as one of the most ambitious geothermal energy initiatives in Europe, aiming to reshape Ireland’s renewable heating landscape through large‑scale demonstration sites and cross‑border collaboration.

Launched with €20 million in funding, GEMINI is a four‑year program designed to propel the adoption of both shallow and deep geothermal solutions across the island. The project is led by Codema, Dublin’s Energy Agency, and supported by the EU’s PEACEPLUS Programme, in coordination with both the Irish and Northern Irish governments.

GEMINI is currently developing five real‑world geothermal demonstration sites, including facilities in Belfast, Sligo, the Irish border region, and Dublin, representing a mix of shallow (<500 m) and deep (~2 km) geothermal systems.

Each site is intended to evaluate geothermal performance, operational costs, and scalability, while informing future national policies and guidelines.
