Mexico and the European Union partner on research and technological development in the field of EGS and super-hot geothermal systems.

Through Conacyt-Sener-Sustainability Energy, Sectoral Fund, the National Council of Science and Technology (CONACYT) of Mexico in conjunction with Mexico’s Ministry of Energy (Sener) launched a call for International Cooperation Research and Development in Geothermal Energy between Mexico and the European Union.

In November 2013, the 6th Bilateral Steering Committee Mexico-European Union were held in Brussels/ Belgium, where the commitment of the parties to combine efforts was established to concrete actions in the field of geothermal for co-financing of research projects energy, technological development and innovation, ratifying this commitment in the 7th EU-Mexico Bilateral Steering Committee (EU) held in Mexico in October 2014.

In this context, Sener and CONACYT established its priorities extend the capabilities in research, development and technological innovation in energy sustainability, by supporting research projects, technological development and training of human resources in cooperation with international institutions. For this reason, they have decided to support a project of international cooperation in research and technological development between Mexico and the European Union’s geothermal energy.

The purpose of the call is to develop a research and technological development in the field of geothermal energy that can be applied and create methodologies and technologies in the field of Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) and Super-Hot geothermal systems (SHGS) in cooperation between Mexico and the European Union.
