It is becoming increasingly clear how necessary it is to make rapid and ambitious progress in the area of climate protection. Deep geothermal energy can make an important contribution to electricity generation, but especially to heat supply. The German government has now also recognised this, but there are still challenges - both technical and in terms of licensing law. But these too can be successfully mastered.
The Geothermie.Bayern practical forum will show possible solutions. Experts from science, business, politics and practice will discuss how geothermal projects can be optimally implemented. Numerous electricity and heat projects, many of them in the geothermal hotspot of Bavaria, present what sustainable energy generation looks like. Currently, there are also many new projects in development in Bavaria, which we would like to present at this year's practical forum.
The popular industry event and networking meeting will take place again from 16 to 18 October 2024 at the Bürgerhaus Pullach near Munich. The congress day on 17 October 2024 will be simultaneously translated. GeoTHOUR will also be available with English translation.
Book your hotel early - but we have also reserved contingents in Pullach and the surrounding area for registered participants.
