Together with the 80 members and the knowledge partners of the trade association, I would like to get to work to utilize the full potential of geothermal energy. , has been successfully developed in horticulture and there is also a demand for more sustainable heat. So let’s pave the way together and seize this opportunity in the transition to a sustainable heat supply within the built environment, industry and greenhouse horticulture.”
