Europe: Happy 20th Anniversary to the European Geothermal Energy Council!

EGEC: Geothermal, an energy for society, industry, and economy

EGEC celebrates 20 years of activity

For the energy transition to be successful, we need integration and a coherent mix in all energy sectors which cannot be accomplished without the versatile contribution of geothermal energy, EGEC states in a new declaration released in celebration of its 20 years anniversary.
