- Commissioner Kadri Simson, keynote speaker -   Energy prices have soared in Europe because of the explosion of the price of natural gas after two years of pandemic, climate impacts and unforeseen supply chain disruptions. Because of the role of gas as the key provider of flexibility to the electricity system, this price increased has impacted European consumers in their heating bills as well as their electricity bills. EGEC has published an action Plan for implementing geothermal in Europe and as a support for the European Institutions to implement the REpowerEU and face the energy crises. Eight actions to allow geothermal to REpowerEU. Geothermal heating, cooling and power has already saved 10 bcm of gas and other fossil energy imports from Russia. It can deliver a 7.5 bcm reduction in Russian gas imports by 2022 and 130 GWth or 17.5 bcm of gas reduction by 2030. RECORDING available EGEC Action Plan: Eight actions to allow geothermal to REpowerEU.

Heat represents more than half of Europe’s energy needs and the vast majority of it comes from fossil fuels. Shallow geothermal energy can be the key to decarbonise heating and cooling, being a clean and mature technology that could be installed anywhere in Europe. Yet, it is widely considered as a niche technology, even if in a few countries such as Sweden and Finland, is becoming mainstream and 2 million geothermal heat pumps have already been installed.

The energy price crisis has focused the need to replace the use of fossil fuels for heating by renewables and energy efficiency. Buildings account for 36% of the EU’s greenhouse gas emissions. The majority of these emissions come from the use of fossil fuels for space heating and hot water.

This novel tool will help the developers of deep geothermal energy projects and decision-makers to evaluate what benefits will result from the development of the geothermal project and allow public acceptance.

Geothermal project development has several risky components, the most important one being the resource risk. Beyond exploration, the bankability of a geothermal project is threatened by this geological risk. The GEORISK project works to establish risk insurance all over Europe and in some key target third countries to cover the resource risk. It appears clear that a de-risking scheme must be designed according to the market maturity of the sector.

Electricity has driven the digital era, and heat has been essential to prepare food, to warm us in winter and to run and develop our industries. But all these processes that our modern societies and economies are built on also owe a lot to another decisive service: cooling.

As 41% of natural gas is used for heating of buildings, EU’s heavy dependency on its import from Russia makes the European heating sector highly vulnerable. Clean energy such as renewables and waste heat for heating must be a pillar of the EU’s energy security strategy, as they are vital to reduce energy dependency. The session, part of the official EUSEW18 Policy Conference, is covering various aspects of renewables and their uptake in the heating (and cooling) sector, strongly associated with the topics of energy efficiency. In addition to addressing the role of biomass and waste-heat, the main focus of the session will be on geothermal energy and its role in the decarbonisation of the heating sector.
