Geographical Information System shows geothermal electricity potential in Europe in 2020 and 2050
The GEOELEC Geographical Information System is now available online.
This unique system presents for the first time ever a geothermal resource assessment from 1km to 5km depth. Based on currently available information, it shows the estimated potential for geothermal electricity production in 2020 and 2050 in each of the EU-28 Member States, plus Norway, Iceland, Switzerland, and Turkey.
The GEOELEC project, co-funded by the Intelligent Energy Europe Programme of the EU, aims at promoting geothermal electricity generation in the EU and aims at removing notably financial and regulatory barriers.
