Taking place for the third time in Reykjavik, Iceland April 24 to 27, 2018, the Iceland Geothermal Conference aims to share effective methods and to examine the best practices currently employed in geothermal projects, informing stakeholders on how to make the most out of a geothermal project, and to explore ways in which the value of a project can be increased.

A Forum organized by EURACTIV to show that several renewable technologies are available to decarbonise heating and cooling (H&C) – biomass, solar thermal, geothermal and efficient heat pumps. They are mature and ready to deliver but the market uptake of renewable energies in the H&C sector remains difficult.

The event is jointly organised with the Flexynets project and will showcase the latest technology developments on digitalisation in district heating. Some of the topics that will be covered include smart district energy, sector coupling, electricity grid and storage integration, smart district heating controllers, and much more.

Every year the European Commission (Directorate-General for Energy and EASME) organises the EU Sustainable Energy Week (EUSEW) – the biggest event dedicated to renewables and efficient energy use in Europe. This year’s tagline is ‘lead the clean energy transition’, and it will cover a series of activities with an EU-wide scope. 

The 5th Geothermal Congress for Latin America and the Caribbean (GEOLAC) will take place this year, July 17-18, 2018 in Mexico City, Mexico.
