Over the past years, geothermal development has seen increased interest. While seemingly still a strong focus on the power generation sector, the uptick of interest in geothermal in the context on cleaning up the heating sector has seen remarkable interest and investment.

This session provides an overview on the different markets and opportunities presented. Country overviews will provide details on geothermal areas, installed capacity, legal framework, funding schemes, risk mitigation, recent market development. The overviews are then followed by concrete project introductions or pitches.
