Unleashing Europe’s Geothermal Potential: The geothermal industry enjoyed growing market development but new installations must still triple by the end of the decade.
EGEC welcomes the European Commission’s proposals for a Critical Raw Materials Act and the Net Zero Industry Act. It is vital to strengthen existing European industrial value-chains for geothermal energy to meet the rapid demand driven by consumers and EU policy.
On 1st February, the European Commission presented The Green Deal Industrial Plan; Measures include simplifying permitting, adapting EU state aid rules, leveraging EU funds, reinforcing supply chain and enhancing skills.
Geothermal lithium is extracted from brines used in energy production. It is the most sustainable way to extract lithium compared to hard rock mining or evaporation, which are significantly more harmful to the environment and CO2 intensive. Geothermal lithium provides Europe with greater independence in lithium production and imports.
To fully represent the geothermal technologies for Research & Innovation and reflect the technology trends and the market development, ETIP DG and geothermal panel of the ETIP RHC become ETIP Geothermal.
Europe’s dependence on imported fossil fuels was exposed by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Replacing this dependence through energy savings, geothermal and other renewable heating solutions is of paramount importance. We explored the policy challenges for EU policy and also the perspectives from key large heat consuming sectors.
