Mapping of financial instruments (EU 27)
Through the joint efforts of three EU funded Projects (CoolLIFE (LIFE21-CET-COOLING Grant ID: 101075405), SAPHEA (Horizon Europe Grant agreement ID: 101075510) and Act!onHeat (H2020 Grant ID: 101033706)) it was possible to derive a full-European mapping of financing instruments relevant for Geothermal DHC. Right below, the mapping tool is embedded.
You can also download the excel file and the Status Report to be used offline.

GeoPLASMA-CE
The Central Europe project GeoPLASMA-CE dealt with the shallow geothermal potential in 6 Case Study areas: Walbrzych / Broumow (PL, CZ), Krakow (PL), Vogtland / W-Bohemia (DE), Vienna (AT), Bratislava - Hainburg - Kittsee (SK, AT) and Ljubljana (SL).
The project launched a web-platform including a Web GIS, Glossary and a Knowledge platform.
Geo-DH Project
The GeoDH project aimed to overcome the non-technical barriers to the development of Geothermal District heating, specifically by:
- Increasing awareness amongst policy and decision makers from national authorities about the potential of this technology.
- Developing strategies for the simplification of the administrative and regulatory procedures and, in some cases, the filling of regulatory gaps.
- Developing Innovative Financial Models.
- Training technicians, civil servants and decision-makers of regional and local authorities in order to provide the technical background necessary to approve and support projects.
