ETIP Geothermal’s vision: “Geothermal Horizons: From Cities to Regions”
ETIP-Geothermal has launched the new vision for geothermal 2030/50, “Geothermal Horizons: from Cities to Regions”.
This vision is a progressive work that aims to serve as a cornerstone to achieve the EU climate-neutral milestone by 2050. Using the abundant geothermal resources spread across Europe, cities like Paris (France), Munich (Germany), Szeged (Hungary) and regions like Tuscany (Italy) are clear examples of the power of geothermal energy and its efficacy in reducing reliance on traditional fossil fuels and contributing to local economic development.
As members of ETIP, representatives from industry, academia, research centres, and sectoral associations support the development of geothermal research and innovation as a crucial part of the energy transition in Europe. The research agenda targets the development of novel geothermal applications, which must be tailored to meet the diverse energy needs of European citizens and industries. A crucial step is the integration of these applications into the European energy security scheme, particularly in regions vulnerable to external energy dependencies.
