Description

The project will support the use of geothermal energy from deep reservoirs. It aims at strengthening the institutional capacities of public authorities and making information available for potential investors. A donor project partner, Iceland School of Energy (Reykjavik University), will provide best-practice knowledge on technology, energy production and resource information.

The Info-Geothermal project pursues the objectives of:

  • improving availability of official information that supports development of geothermal energy projects, and
  • increasing knowledge by providing focused trainings for experts and authorities as well as raising awareness through dissemination activities.

The main activities include:

  • mapping deep geothermal potential;
  • establishing guidelines and rules on development of geothermal projects;
  • training experts of authorities, research organizations and project developers;
  • establishing a national geothermal network of experts, investors, project developers and other stakeholders.
