Geothermal E-BOOK

Prospects for geothermal energy development in Central Eastern Europe

Over the past years, there has been a renewed interest in geothermal energy. National strategies have been drafted and several governments from Central and Eastern Europe included geothermal energy among their priorities. After all, most of the CEE countries are sitting on an enormous energy potential given by Earth itself.

• We collected for you all the major developments in the geothermal energy industry of Central and Eastern Europe, from investments to regulations, from drillings to financing schemes
• We clearly explained what are the competitive advantages of geothermal energy
• CEENERGYNEWS’ editor-in-chief Claudia Patricolo has prepared for you an overview of the geothermal energy resources in the region, from operating power plants to the potential of the Pannonian basin, passing through the main challenges and some of the solutions offered
• We also focused on the best practices to learn from the region and the synergies with other industries such as the oil and gas sector. But also the importance of geothermal energy to produce green hydrogen. All through informative and compelling analyses
• Together with in-depth analyses, we have prepared for you a map of the geothermal power plants in the region and the potential of the Pannonia Basin
• We made an interview with Dr Marcell Biro, President, Supervisory Authority for Regulatory Affairs of Hungary
• We also included an exclusive contribution through an opinion editorial written by Jack Kiruja, Associate Programme Officer, Geothermal Energy, International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA)
