EGEC's responses to stakeholder consultation on revision of the EU Emission Trading System (EU ETS) Directive

The EU aims to become number one in renewables, according to European Commission’s President Juncker. Already a leader in both renewable electricity and heating and cooling, Europe now faces fierce global competition.

This fact sheet illustrates how geothermal electricity can be crucial to the stabilisation of the grid, being both baseload and flexible.

This paper aims to highlight the main financial barriers to the development of geothermal technologies, and to propose innovative and differentiated tools for funding geothermal heat and geothermal electricity. The document puts forward key recommendations for designing new and improving the functioning of existing public support schemes.
