As part of the GEORISK project, EGEC is holding a webinar on the financing of the decarbonisation of regions and cities with geothermal on October 6, 2020.
The European Geothermal Energy Council (EGEC) has announced an webinar organised in the framework of the GEORISK project and as part of the European Week of regions and cities.
- Date: October 6, 2020
- Time: 11:00 to 12:30 (CEST)
- Venue: GoToWebinar
Investments in heating and cooling technologies happen mostly at local level, in cities and regions. However, large financial resources are not always available for local authorities and planning for renewables installations might be complex.
The webinar will show how local authorities can attract investors to finance geothermal district heating and cooling to make cities zero-carbon by 2050. It will also provide some instruments and business models to facilitate the planning of geothermal projects. With a series of hot topics presented by experts, the webinar caters to investors, local authorities, and the geothermal sector in general.

- Introduction to the GEORISK project – Philippe Dumas, EGEC Secretary General
