Workshop "Decarbonization of the heating industry - geothermal energy and energy communities"

We would like to invite you to the workshop “Decarbonization of the heating industry, with the example of interconnection with geothermal energy and the emergence of energy communities”. It takes place on 16 and 17 January 2023 in Bratislava, Slovakia and also includes a site visit to Galantatherm.

The event is free, and it is organised under the W4RES (Women for market uptake of renewable heating and colling) project. It is a 3-year EU-funded project which aims at scaling-up the involvement of women in the market deployment and uptake of renewable heating and cooling solutions via replicable support measures tested and validated across 8 European countries.

Workshop programme outline

1. part will focus on planning of the heating industry decarbonization. It will include expert presentation on how geothermal energy can be used. It will also feature an interesting example of Galantatherm project initiated by women.
2. part will be dedicated to legal aspects of energy communities in Slovakia. As well as some interesting best practice examples from abroad.
