Geothermal could supply 20% of European energy by 2050

10 December 2010
Geothermal could supply at least 20% of European energy demand in 2050, according to the European Geothermal Energy Council (EGEC).

"Things must change if Europe is to reach its energy decarbonization objective, and that will not be possible without a substantial contribution from geothermal energy," says EGEC President Dr Burkhard Sanner.

"Providing a renewable base load, geothermal energy, grid infrastructure or waste management. Conventional geothermal power is already available, but only possible in certain regions.

EGS, a breakthrough technology successfully, will allow a geothermal development anywhere in Europe. EGS (Short for 'Enhanced Geothermal Systems') will become competitive within a few more years.

"Geothermal will be a key player in an optimal energy mix," Sanner concludes.

EGEC calls on national governments and European institutions to:

* Invest in R&D to deploy EGS and bring down the cost of EGS plants;
* Adopt a feed-in tariff suitable for EGS development; and
* Create a European Risk Insurance Scheme to mitigate the geological risk.

Not very clear their geothermal:
There is the heat pump on well falsely geothermal which is solar fact simplified!

And the true geothermal energy of the basement, deep, especially on near volcanoes like near Cologne and Koblenz, active supervolcan !!

With the storage in the basement of summer solar heat, falsely called geothermal for useless heat pumps, as realized functional on www.dlsc.ca without a heat pump, especially in colder France:

we can remove all the CO2 and nuclear used for heating, much more than 20% !!
