The GEOTHERMICA Initiative, CETPartnership TRI4 Heating & Cooling, Geothermal IWG, EEA Grants, Geological Survey of Slovenia, and the Ministry of Environment, Climate & Energy of Slovenia organised a Roundtable on the Heat Transition & Geothermal Energy Opportunities in Ptuj, Slovenia on 12 December 2023.

Speakers introduced strategies and policies on geothermal energy of several member states and the EU; public cooperation on the heat transition; and geothermal projects and success stories. Discussions focused on opportunities and challenges on realising the potential of geothermal energy in the region.

The Roundtable provided a platform for industry, RD&I, and member states to influence and define the pivotal role of geothermal energy in Europe's transition to sustainable energy sources. The proceedings of the Roundtable are available here and include links to the presentation of the event.
