Support Unit for the Deep Geothermal Implementation Working Group

Project description

Communication platform to bring the European geothermal community to the forefront

As geothermal energy will be a major part of tomorrow’s European energy systems, it is crucially important to raise awareness of its benefits, particularly amongst decision-makers, civil society and investors. An Implementation Working Group for Deep Geothermal (DG-IWG) was established for Europe to become a leader in low-carbon energy. The EU-funded SU-DG-IWG project will set up a support unit to provide related information and data from stakeholders in research, industry and government at regional and national levels to support the DG-IWG’s decision-making procedures and actions. It will also encourage and run initiatives such as workshops to mobilise the geothermal community.

Objective

Following the endorsement of the Deep Geothermal Implementation Plan (DG-IP) by the SET-Plan Steering Group, a Deep Geothermal Implementation Working Group (DG-IWG) is being established to advance the DG-IP, with the aim of reaching collectively the technology targets that will place Europe at the forefront of the next generation of low carbon technologies.

The objective of this project proposal is to create a support unit for the DG-IWG to achieve its goals efficiently and productively. The support unit will have three main work streams, 1) to provide the DG-IWG with relevant information and data from the various stakeholder groups to support the decisionmaking process and the implementations actions of DG-IWG on required actions; 2) to promote and organise initiatives to mobilize growth of and implementation within the geothermal community, e.g.: workshops, brokerages, consortium building and exploitation of RD&I results; 3) provide a secretariat for the DG-IWG for assistance on administrative issues and synergies & strategy support.

The consortium will push forward a broad mobilisation of the Geothermal community to implement the action in the IP. Furthermore the project will focus on the development of synergies and strategies. New ways will be explored to maximize the impact of knowledge, funding and market growth at european, national and regional scale. This aproach supports to creation of a durable and long-lasting R&I ecosystem in the different Member-Sates and regions. The partners will focus on a multi-actor, multidisciplinary and cross-sectoral approach. As such the project will support the collaboration and networking among representatives of the triple helix (research, industry and government) at the regional and national level and with their counterparts from the Horizon 2020 Associated Countries.
