Geothermal Energy for Europe: Scaling from Niche to Mainstream
The International Energy Agency (IEA) and Carnegie Europe are co-organising a private roundtable discussion on geothermal energy for Europe.As solar PV and wind capacity are growing and countries are prioritizing energy security, geothermal energy offers reliable, non-fuel-dependent, low-emissions power, heating, and cooling. It also highlights emerging opportunities in the use of critical minerals and the development of underground energy storage capacity. Yet, deployment in Europe and globally remains constrained by subsurface risk, financing challenges, limited policy support, and regulatory barriers. The roundtable discussion will provide a unique platform for direct engagement between European policymakers and…
