The targets set for the geothermal sector for 2030 are to contribute to 5% of the total electricity production in Europe, and 3,5 % of the total heat generation. Geothermal energy is today the 4th RES provider to the total final energy consumption (behind Biomass, Hydropower, and Wind). The attainment of the 2020 RES target will require the use of the all renewable energy sources, among which geothermal energy. Source: EGEC | |
