Next week European Commission President Junker is to unveil his plan to re-launch the EU economy (by mobilizing EUR 330 bn in total).
In a letter sent today, the European Geothermal Energy Council (EGEC) calls on the European Commission to earmark a substantial part of its investment package for deploying geothermal cogeneration and heat projects.
In particular, investments in the energy sector should go in priority to:
- Building renovation with energy efficiency measures and fuel switch to renewable heating.
- District heating and cogeneration generation units and distribution networks, including for their refurbishment with RES integration;
- Low temperature process heat from RES to decarbonize the industrial sector.
