Offenburg, 1st March 2024 - EGEC is thrilled to announce Vulcan Energie Ressourcen GmbH as the recipient of the prestigious Ruggero Bertani European Geothermal Innovation Award 2024. The award recognises Vulcan Energie Ressourcen GmbH’s innovative project, the Lithium Extraction Optimization Plant (LEOP) from geothermal, designed to revolutionise the production of sustainable lithium in Europe.
ETIP-Geothermal proudly unveils the European Geothermal Research & Innovation Search Engine (EGRISE). With more than 10.000 publications/tools available, the EGRISE v2.0 enables the discovery of research products (e.g. project deliverables, papers, datasets) produced in EU-funded geothermal projects and by the whole geothermal community worldwide.
EGEC is thrilled to announce its membership has surpassed the remarkable number of more than 200 esteemed members, with 30 new members joined EGEC in 2023. This is a significant milestone in EGEC's mission towards establishing geothermal as a unique energy source in Europe and beyond. This achievement reflects the growing recognition and support for geothermal energy as a sustainable, clean and reliable source, key for a successful energy transition.

Recognising enduring market trends over extended periods, spanning years and even decades, stands as a pivotal factor in fostering the growth and advancement of the Renewable Heating and Cooling (RHC) sector. This alignment with significant societal and technological shifts facilitates a deliberate approach to responsiveness and adaptation, transcending reactive measures and fostering the formulation of a comprehensive strategic framework. Accordingly, the European Heat Pump Association (EHPA), together with the European Technology and Innovation Platform on Renewable Heating & Cooling (RHC-ETIP), orchestrates a sequence of matchmaking events and panel discussions aimed at delineating prospective challenges. These forums afford partner organisations the opportunity to proactively tackle identified issues. Attendance at these events involves representatives from diverse end-use sectorial organisations, encompassing but not confined to, those within the realms of building, transportation, and industrial sectors.
