Brussels (Belgium)
European Commission - DG Research & Innovation - ORBAN building
We are glad to announce that we were committed a study on “Geothermal plants' and applications' emissions: overview and analysis” together with Ernst & Young and VITO by the European Commission.
The main scope of the study is to provide a consistent, harmonized and exhaustive assessment about the possible release of greenhouse gases and other pollutant emissions in the geothermal sector.
The study is currently coming to its end, providing an in-depth, independent and reliable analysis of the emissions from the comprehensive spectrum of geothermal plants and applications, based on life cycle approach.
This will provide the European Commission with a complete overview of emissions and potential impacts on environment and human health. The analysis provides a solid basis to build future policy developments.
A Final Workshop for the presentation of the results of the study will be held in Brussels on 4 February in the framework of the “Two days Geothermal Brussels events” , which aim presenting all the instruments to answer the environmental concerns related to deep geothermal energy projects that are operational or under development in Europe.
As part of the event, also GEOENVI (a project funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 818242 to make sure that deep geothermal energy can play its role in Europe’s future energy supply in an increasingly sustainable way and to create a robust strategy to answer environmental concerns) Project Seminar will be held.
We are glad to invite geothermal plant owners, environmental agencies, and other sectoral stakeholders to join the event.
The participation is free of charge: register here!
