EGEC's response to the consultation on the EU Hydrogen Strategy Roadmap consultation and the use of renewable hydrogen

The GEORISK Consortium sent an open letter to DG Energy Director-General Ditte Juul Jørgensen, European Commission, calling for the establishment of an EU risk management scheme for geothermal energy. In particular, this scheme should be tied to instruments that structure the European energy market such as TEN-E or the Connecting Europe Facility.

EGEC welcomes the public consultation on the network codes and the opportunity to provide its perspective on the priorities that should be considered for the good operation of the electricity network with a higher share of renewables.

EGEC outlined the key foundations for an effective Smart Sector Integration plan to accelerate energy transition and decarbonisation.

The European Union is looking to engage a deep decarbonisation of the economy, which obliges looking at synergies between sectors to make the best out of the renewable energy installed. The geothermal sector stands at the crossroad of such smart energy systems, and EGEC is putting forward proposals on what should be done for this process to be implemented successfully.
