As European cities race toward climate neutrality, innovative technologies, bold city strategies and new policies are supporting geothermal energy as a clean, scalable, local and independent solution for district heating.
Cities produce more than 70% of global CO2 emissions. The world cannot decarbonize without addressing the challenge of urban sustainability.
In response, the EU has embarked on an ambitious mission to establish 100 climate neutral and smart cities by 2030, many of which have committed to cutting carbon emissions by 55%. One major challenge to urban decarbonization is heating (and cooling) our cities. Heating alone contributes as much as 40% of the world’s energy-related CO2 emissions. On top of that, cities are responsible for around 70% of global CO2 emissions. That means that city-based district heating cannot be overlooked.
