An educational video series, Miss Molecule and Friends, highlights the geo-resources of Cornwall, UK, including its potential for geothermal energy and lithium.
An excellent educational video featuring the fun characters Miss Molecule & Friends takes a detailed look into the georesources of Cornwall in the UK, including minerals, rocks, clay, and geothermal energy.
The highly entertaining video highlights how Cornwall is helping to save the world through sustainable mining, innovation, and green energy. Cornwall has a long history in mining, enabling industrial growth of many countries around the world by supplying rocks and minerals. The miners of Cornwall also contributed globally by sharing their knowledge and expertise.
Cornwall is also blessed with geothermal energy and is the site of two major geothermal projects – the Eden Geothermal project and the United Downs Deep Geothermal Power (UDDGP) project. The UDDGP is notable for being the first deep geothermal power plant in the UK, and is expected to start commercial operations later this year. There was also mention of the geothermal brine in Cornwall being rich with lithium, which is another avenue for Cornwall to contribute to sustainability efforts.
“Miss Molecule and Friends” is an educational video series blending scientific expertise with creative storytelling aimed at students in late primary to early secondary. The Geo-Resources Odyssey episode has an accompanying poster, which you can download here.
