(From Google Translate) The coal exit law planned by the federal government creates improvements for the expansion of renewable technologies such as geothermal energy. The Bundesverband Geothermie (Federal Geothermal Association) welcomes the plans, but sees further need for action in promoting environmentally friendly district heating from geothermal energy. Geothermal energy uses the existing district heating infrastructure, is space-saving and significantly reduces carbon dioxide emissions, according to a press release from the association on January 24, 2020.
