Great news for businesses keen on championing sustainable energy solutions! Geothermal Heat Pump Days 2024, taking place this October in Dublin, is now open for sponsorships. This prestigious event provides a distinct platform to engage with experts and advocates in the field of heat pump technology for heating and cooling systems throughout Europe.
The geothermal industry enjoyed growing market development, but the journey from niche to mainstream energy demands a robust framework based on critical components.
As energy costs rise and climate action becomes increasingly urgent, innovative solutions are essential. One such solution is Geothermal Heat Pumps, an advanced technology that utilises the Earth's natural heat to provide efficient and eco-friendly heating and cooling for homes and businesses.
Join us in Paris from 9 to 11 September 2024 at the Sorbonne University, for three days of geothermal innovation. You can attend this event by registering before 29 August 2024.
Make sure to mark your calendars and save the date to join us this autumn for this three-day conference exploring the transformative potential of geothermal heat pumps in the pursuit of decarbonised heating and cooling.
Geothermal is our energy. It is a unique renewable energy source providing baseload electricity, heating, cooling, storage, as well as lithium and other mineral extraction. It rests reassuringly below our feet, homes, offices and factories everywhere. With the right political visibility and regulatory frameworks it will become the foundation of the cheap, local, inclusive and rapid energy transition.
On April 24, Invest-NL, the National Promotional Institute of the Netherlands, released a report to explore opportunities for scaling geothermal energy in the Netherlands. This report, prepared by EGEC and WEP, delves into the geothermal landscape, focusing on key European countries including Germany, Denmark, and France, to provide invaluable insights for the market in the Netherlands.
The Geothermal District Heating and Cooling Days are taking place from 9 to 11 September in Paris, France! Organised by the European Geothermal Energy Council (EGEC), in collaboration with the host organisation the French Association of Geothermal Professionals (AFPG), and supported by SAPHEA & COST actions, this event will serve as a platform for participants to come together and discuss the latest developments, challenges and new opportunities in the field of geothermal district heating and cooling.
The EGEC Annual Report 2023 provides a comprehensive overview of the organisation's activities for the year and highlights the significant achievements in the European geothermal sector. Published annually, EGEC's Annual Report serves as a crucial document that reflects EGEC's policy achievements over the past year and sets out the main lines of action for the foreseeable future.
In March 2023 EGEC will announce the final winner among the six endorsed nominations for the Ruggero Bertani European Geothermal Innovation Award 2023. The six finalists are (in alphabetical order by company):
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.
The biggest geothermal event in Europe has just ended. More than 1300 participants attended EGC2022. What is next? Working together to ensure geothermal is at the core of the energy transition.
Berlin, 20 October 2022 – The new board of the European Geothermal Energy Council was elected at the European Geothermal Congress yesterday.
Berlin, 18 October 2022 - The geothermal community meets in Berlin for the European Geothermal Congress 2022 (EGC), in a country that has made geothermal a priority for its energy transition.
Brussels, 6 October 2022
The EGC event is the largest gathering of the geothermal energy industry in Europe. With more markets opening up to this competitive and local renewable energy source, EGC 2022 is the perfect platform to network, learn and do business with key players from the geothermal world.
30 September 2022, Berlin, Germany
