The mission of the Horizon 2020 funded CROWDTHERMAL project is to empower the European public to directly participate in the development of geothermal projects, with the help of alternative financing schemes and social engagement tools. The project team has developed a set of reports, addressing social, environmental, financial, and risk mitigation aspects of community-financed geothermal projects.

The objective is to turn CROWDTHERMAL into a one-stop-shop for enquiries about empowerment in geothermal projects through community funding.

The project is organising its first international conference on 7 April 2022 in a hybrid format, on-site in Madrid and online.

The webinar is organized in the framework of the Geothermal Emission Control Project (GECO). It is intended as an introduction/dissemination event showing the power of the 3-E approach (Exergy, Exergo-Economic and Exergo-Environmental) to promote the performance improvement of power plants, with a focus on clean geothermal energy.

Applications of the methodology to selected reference cases within the GECO Project will be presented (Hellisheidi, Castelnuovo, Kizildere), including, where possible, processes for CO2 capture/reinjection/fixation.
