The report "Financial instruments as support for the exploitation of geothermal energy (pdf)" written by German consulting Firm Rödl & Partners, provides an overview on the various instruments available in European countries.
A recent report written as part of the GEOFAR project mentioned in an earlier post, is actually such a good source of information that I thought I give it some individual space despite providing a link earlier
The report “Financial instruments as support for the exploitation of geothermal energy (pdf)” written by German consulting Firm Rödl & Partners, provides an overview on the various instruments available in European countries.
The report looks at national instruments in Germany, France, Greece, Portugal, Spain, Bulgaria, Hungary, Slovakia, Iceland and Italy. So basically it actually covers most countries with geothermal potential in Europe.
The report compares these instruments and provides an overview on insurance mechansisms.
Well worth reading.
