Following the European Parliament’s resolution for a European geothermal energy strategy, representatives of the European Commission, Member States, industry, research institutes, and civil society discussed the challenges, benefits, and opportunities for the mass deployment of geothermal to achieve EU climate goals.
The challenges addressed were: structures to share national actions to increase geothermal investments; effective implementation of newly agreed permitting rules; uptake of innovative business models; skilling the workforce.
The opening section tackled political issues, starting with the main elements of a European geothermal strategy proposed by the European Parliament’s resolution, which was agreed upon in January 2024. This was complemented by the views of DG Energy, which set a target to triple geothermal capacity by 2030 and recently revised regulations for renewable energy and energy efficiency to this effect.
The second section incorporated the needs of project developers and manufacturers as well as civil society. It also showcased how recent pan-European scientific initiatives supported and informed policy decision-making to accelerate and increase the share of geothermal in the green transition.
