Further Information
The aims of EGEC are to promote the use of geothermal energy, as follows:
- In priority, encouraging R and D in the field of geothermal utilization of the existing resources
in Europe and allowing the public at large to access to the R and D results and maximise the
utilization of this renewable energy.
- By exercising appropriate actions among European institutions to implement a legal and
institutional framework and fiscal instruments allowing geothermal sources to compete with
conventional energy systems, and to secure economic support in consideration of the
environmental benefits.
- By conducting any activity which is intended to promote the market deployment of
geothermal energy in Europe and the export of European geothermal technology, services and
equipment to other parts of the world.
- By representing the interests of the European geothermal energy industry and users to
governments and international organisations, with a view to improving business conditions for
the industry.
- By co-operating with national geothermal associations, and in particular with the
International Geothermal Association (IGA) and its European branch, and with any other
associations promoting research on and application of renewable energy sources, in order to
join forces to achieve successful development and implementation in the field of geothermal
energy use throughout Europe, and to foster Inter-European cooperation.
- By disseminating, through publications, meetings, discussions or any other activity the
use of geothermal energy, as well as its marketing, and to forward information on products and
services to authorities, industry, and the public at large.
- By publicising, at European level, the opinions of researchers, engineers,managers, and
any other commentators or proponents on the use of geothermal energy, and bringing them to
the attention of governments, national and international organisations, decisionmakers, and
the public at large.
