The goal is to produce enough geothermal heat in 15 to 20 years to save annually 100TWh of gas and achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. In 2021, geothermal energy accounted for only 1% of the country\u2019s final heat consumption, which translates to <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>roximately 6TWh.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, the Italian government <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/greenreport.it\/news\/economia-ecologica\/fer-2-concessioni-e-non-solo-il-punto-sulla-geotermia-col-ministro-dellambiente-pichetto\/\">is discussing how to support<\/a> the expansion of geothermal energy, while Hungary <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ceenergynews.com\/renewables\/hungary-bets-on-geothermal-energy-to-ensure-energy-security\/\">aims to upscale production<\/a> of geothermal energy\u00a0and subsequently replace about 1-1.5 billion cubic metres of natural gas per year. And Europe\u2019s largest <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/innargi.com\/en\/project\/\">geothermal heating plant<\/a>, in the city of Aarhus in Denmark, is expected to be completed by 2030, with the capacity to cover 30% of the district\u2019s energy needs.<\/p>\n<p>According to <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/setis.ec.europa.eu\/implementing-actions\/deep-geothermal_en#:~:text=Switching%20from%20fossil%20fuels%20to,10%20%25%20of%20Europe's%20power%20demand.\">EU data<\/a>, replacing fossil fuels with geothermal energy could decarbonise up to 25% of the bloc\u2019s population energy needs, while also reducing bills. Geothermal plants could also supply up to 10% of Europe\u2019s power demand. And it seems that the renewable resource is finally getting the necessary traction to boost the continent\u2019s energy independence and help meet its climate targets.<\/p>\n<p>Germany\u2019s target of 10 TWh of geothermal output from medium-depth and deep resources is an ambitious one. To realise the goal, the country aims to add at least 100 additional geothermal projects by 2030. These would connect to the heating grid and supply energy to residential buildings and industrial companies.\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
