Abstract
The advantages of using geothermal for power production and H&C are little known. Recently, deep geothermal energy
production in some regions is confronted with a negative perception, and a special attention from some decision-makers, in
terms of environmental performance, which could seriously hamper its market uptake. Media reports focus more on
disadvantages than advantages. As a result, decision makers and potential investors have concerns about possible
environmental impacts and risks involved in implementing geothermal projects, and social resistance often results in
practical obstacles - such as significant slowdowns - to the deployment of the deep geothermal resources. The first
objective of the GEOENVI project is to make sure that deep geothermal energy can play its role in Europe's future energy
supply in a sustainable way. It aims to create a robust strategy to respond environmental concerns (by environmental
concerns we mean both environmental impacts and risks): o by assessing the environmental impacts and risks of geothermal
projects operational or in development in Europe, and o by providing a robust framework to propose recommendations on
environmental regulations t
