TWI Representing Projects at Geothermal Congress

Tue, 26 October, 2021

TWI is representing an array of Horizon 2020 geothermal projects at the World Geothermal Congress 2020+1 in Reykjavik.

The congress includes the European Research and Innovation geothermal Pavilion exhibition, which will take place throughout the conference from 25-27 October 2021.

The Pavilion is a joint initiative between the European Commission and the GEOTHERMICA project, representing a showcase of the high level of cooperation in geothermal in Europe through its projects at this international event.

The aim of this showcase is to attract interested parties from Europe and beyond to accelerate geothermal development through collaboration in a hybrid setup.

TWI, in collaboration with consortia involving partners from UK and Europe, is representing a range of different geothermal projects including:

  • GeoSmart – storing heat energy to cost-effectively respond to network demands
  • GeoDrill - developing holistic drilling technologies that have the potential to reduce the cost of drilling to large depths and at high temperatures
  • GEOPRO - developing a verified set of robust, user friendly, flexible and accessible tools to optimize sustainable geothermal reservoir management, power and heat production and reinjection strategies.
  • GeoHex - developing heat exchanger (HX) materials, addressing both the improvements in the anti-scaling and anti-corrosion properties as well as the heat transfer performance of the HX material

All of these Horizon2020 programme projects are being introduced alongside co-funded projects from GEOTHERMICA.

GEOTHERMICA Project Officer Ms Filipa Vieira Matias, as representative of CINEA at the European Commission, will give the opening speech and all of The Pavilion activities are being streamed for participants who could not attend in person via a Twitter account.

Please visit the EU Pavilion website and follow the dedicated Twitter account for live streams and more information.
