This webinar will explore the main regulations that should cement geothermal as the ‘go-to’ solution for key consumer markets. The European Union has nearly completed the gargantuan feat of rewriting its entire suit of climate and energy legislation to meet the -55% greenhouse gas reduction target. Geothermal now has many favourable hooks that will drive markets and facilitate greater levels of deployment. Sanjeev Kumar, Head of Policy at the European Geothermal Energy Council (EGEC) will explore the main regulations that should cement geothermal as the ‘go-to’ solution for key consumer markets. He will also outline the significance of the national plans to develop geothermal in Austria, Croatia, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland and Poland as well as the resolutions passed by the European Parliament and the Committee of Regions (which houses elected mayors and local authority leaders). This should give the industry a new way to talk about geothermal. Learning this language is essential for the industry to become a mainstream solution.

Geothermal energy, known for its consistent and reliable nature, can become a valuable counterpart to intermittent renewable energy sources like solar and wind. Geosmart investigates technological and operational aspects, highlighting geothermal’s flexibility benefits to the energy system. Join us as we unveil two demonstration sites showcasing technology tests conducted in Germany and Turkey. Additionally, we will present findings from the comprehensive mapping of geothermal stakeholders in Iceland. This will include insights into their specific needs and preferences concerning flexibility solutions, focusing on the innovative offerings provided by Geosmart. The event is free of charge, open to the public, and will take place at 13:00 on 28th May 2024 at Ríma, Harpa, Reykjavik. Limited seats, first come, first served. More information.    

During the last decade, The Iceland Geothermal Conference (IGC) has been one of the most attended events in the geothermal world and now we are scheduled for the 5th time at Harpa in May 2024. The host and owner of IGC is the Iceland Renewable Energy Cluster and its members. This prestigious event serves as a platform for exploring new opportunities and diverse options presented by the geothermal sector’s development and point out the importance of its diversity.
