Alexander Richter 23 Oct 2019

In collaboration with IGC Turkey – International Geothermal Congress & Exhibition 6-8 November 2019, the GEORISK project will be holding an International Seminar on “The Right Risk Mitigation Scheme for My Market” on 6 November 2019 – 14:00 to 18:00 + Dinner

Geothermal project development has several risky components, the most important one being the resource risk Beyond exploration, the bankability of a geothermal project is threatened by this geological risk.

GEORISK project works to establish risk insurance all over Europe and in some key target third countries to cover the resource risk. It appears clear that a de-risking scheme must be designed according to the market maturity of the sector.

This workshop aims at presenting first results of the GEORISK project. The workshop aims to create a discussion between the project partners, the members of the Advisory committee and the other participants to the workshop.
