EGEC Publishes Policy Paper On EU Commission Energy Roadmap 2050 (Cross-posted from ThinkGeoenergy.com)


In its Policy Paper on the European Commission’s Energy Roadmap 2050 (PDF), the European Geothermal Energy Council (EGEC) points out the need for more pointed support for geothermal R&D and the role geothermal can play for heating and cooling.

With the policy paper, EGEC is portraying the main implications of the Energy Roadmap for the European geothermal energy sector and provides key recommendations for EU and national policy makers on needed alterations to the Roadmap. It further looks at a potentially successful post-2020 energy framework.
