Registration is now open! Get your ticket by the 6th of May! The Geothermal District Heating and Cooling Days will take place from 20-22 of May to bring together key players and experts in the heating and cooling space across Europe.
The European Geothermal Energy Council (EGEC) welcomes eagerly awaited confirmation from the European Commission that the Geothermal Action Plan will be published in Q1 2026.[1] Dan Jørgensen, Commissioner for Energy and Housing, acknowledged, in a written response to a question from Davor Stier MEP[2], that ”geothermal energy has an important role to play in the decarbonisation of the EU’s energy system”. He added, “The potential of geothermal energy has been so far hindered by challenges related inter alia to planning, permitting, skills, financing and availability of data”.
The future of industrial energy is here—and it’s powered by geothermal. Our latest publication, Geothermal for Industry and Agri-Food, explores how businesses across Europe are leveraging geothermal energy to decarbonise operations, cut costs, and enhance sustainability.
With a letter to Commissioner for Economy and Productivity Implementation and Simplification Valdis Dombrovskis, EGEC provided its answer to a call for feedback by the Platform on Sustainable Finance on the draft report on preliminary recommendations for the review of the Taxonomy Climate Delegated Act and additional technical screening criteria for the EU Taxonomy.
The European Commission ‘Competitiveness Compass’ released on Wednesday 29 January sent the right signal for the Clean Industrial Deal. EGEC supports the initiatives set out for ensuring a competitive energy for people and business. To supply affordable energy, more competition is required on energy markets to supply electricity, heating and cooling, and for storage.
Brussels, 16th December 2024 – The European Geothermal Energy Council (EGEC) is delighted with the Hungarian Presidency for initiating the proposal and to all Member States for adopting today the Council conclusions.
