THIS ANNOUNCEMENT CONTAINS INSIDE INFORMATION.
1 June 2021
IGas Energy plc (AIM: IGas)
("IGas" or "the Company")
Grant of Planning Consent: Stoke-on-Trent Geothermal Project
IGas is pleased to announce it has received planning approval
from Stoke-on-Trent City Council for the deep geothermal project in
the Etruria Valley that will supply zero carbon heat to the City
for decades to come.
IGas continues to have positive discussions with Government
regarding future financial support for this and other geothermal
projects.
A new industry report, on the economic and environmental
importance of UK deep geothermal resource, by the ARUP Group and
the Association for Renewable Energy and Clean Technology (REA)
launched recently, estimates that, with immediate government
support, the UK could deliver 360 geothermal projects by 2050. This
would include an estimated 12 projects being operational by 2025
with 1,300 jobs created and c.GBP100 million of investment flowing
into the UK economy.
The Committee on Climate Change stated that only decarbonisation
of heat in the UK could deliver the major reduction in emissions
needed to meet the 2050 net zero target. By delivering on average
12 heat projects per year over the next three decades, the UK could
expect to generate up to 15,000 GW hours (GWh) of heat from
geothermal, annually by 2050.

Through a growing pipeline of geothermal development
opportunities, IGas is well positioned to deliver a solution to the
long-term decarbonisation for heat in the UK.
