Descrizione del progetto
Ampliare l’utilizzo dell’energia geotermica in Europa
L’energia geotermica può contribuire a svezzare l’Europa dai combustibili fossili, sia per quanto concerne la produzione di elettricità che per il riscaldamento e il raffreddamento. Si tratta di una fonte di energia rinnovabile, locale e sempre disponibile, poiché non dipende dalle condizioni climatiche. Il progetto GEOTHERM-FORA, finanziato dall’UE, favorirà l’espansione dei sistemi geotermici sostenendo la ricerca, lo sviluppo e l’innovazione necessari per mettere a punto tecnologie rinnovabili, nonché per promuovere l’adozione delle applicazioni da parte del mercato. Ciò aiuterà l’UE a mantenere il primato non solo nella produzione di energia geotermica, ma anche nei sistemi di riscaldamento e raffreddamento.
Obiettivo
In order to decarbonise the power, heating, and transport sectors and reach a climate neutrality by 2050, Europe needs a wide range of renewable technologies, including geothermal systems. Geothermal will be a key energy source in the European decarbonized energy mix. Indeed, geothermal is a unique energy source that can provide a significant share of electricity, heating and cooling, thermal storage and minerals such as lithium in 2022 and beyond. It is a source of energy which is renewable, local and continuously available as it is not dependent on climate conditions. Europe has pioneered the exploitation of geothermal resources for over a century and the EU still maintains a leading role due to research, innovation and the development of new technologies allowing the production of geothermal power as well as heating and cooling everywhere.
In this proposal, the project GEOTHERM-FORA aims at facilitating Research and Innovation (R&I) activities in geothermal systems by supporting the workResearch, development, and innovation (RD&I) are needed to develop renewable technologies, accompanied by market uptake measures. Major investments in geothermal research and innovation are necessary to develop and deploy the next generation of geothermal technologies and answering the challenges for the transformation of our energy system towards a decarbonisation of our economy.
