Successful Conclusion of Geothermal District Heating and Cooling Days 2023 The Geothermal District Heating and Cooling Days 2023, a three-day event hosted in Aarhus, Denmark, culminated on a high note after a series of insightful discussions, presentations, and site visits. With more than 100 attendees, the event proved to be a gathering of industry experts, researchers, and stakeholders passionate about advancing the use of geothermal energy in heating and cooling networks.
10th October 2023 at 11 am – 1 pm in the European Parliament (Brussels) Room PHS 1A002 Geothermal energy provides permanent, non-weather dependent supplies of baseload renewable electricity, heating, free cooling, seasonal thermal and electricity storage as well as the most sustainable means of extracting lithium and other raw materials. Yet it is only 2% of final electricity and heating production.
Unleashing Europe’s Geothermal Potential: The geothermal industry enjoyed growing market development but new installations must still triple by the end of the decade.
We support the Heat Pump Accelerator provided it also supports the mass deployment of Geothermal Heat Pumps (GHPs) in buildings, district heating and cooling systems, industry, and agri-foods. This, the call for evidence and three stakeholder workshops have not given adequate visibility and opportunity to discuss policy design to overcome the barriers for geothermal heat pumps.
EGEC's overall position on the Call for Evidence on the Governance Regulation is one of strong support for ambitious and outcome-focused measures to accelerate the deployment of geothermal energy and other renewables in Europe.
EGEC fully supports the implementation of the Polluter Pays Principle in both EU and national legislation.

It is becoming increasingly clear how necessary it is to make rapid and ambitious progress in the area of climate protection. Deep geothermal energy can make an important contribution to electricity generation, but especially to heat supply. The German government has now also recognised this, but there are still challenges - both technical and in terms of licensing law. But these too can be successfully mastered. The Geothermie.Bayern practical forum will show possible solutions. Experts from science, business, politics and practice will discuss how geothermal projects can be optimally implemented. Numerous electricity and heat projects, many of them in the geothermal hotspot of Bavaria, present what sustainable energy generation looks like. Currently, there are also many new projects in development in Bavaria, which we would like to present at this year's practical forum. The popular industry event and networking meeting will take place again from 10 to 12 October 2023 at the Bürgerhaus Pullach near Munich. The congress day on 11 October 2023 will be simultaneously translated. GeoTHOUR will also be available with English translation. REGISTER HERE
