The Official Conference of the European Geothermal Energy Council (EGEC)
Organised in partnership with the European Geothermal Energy Council (EGEC), GeoPower Europe 2009 is a new addition to Green Power Conferences' successful Geothermal series, launched in San Francisco in March of this year.
Bringing together the driving forces from every part of the geothermal supply chain - from government and investors, to developers and technology providers, GeoPower Europe 2009 will challenge the industry to find new ways to unleash the potential of Europe's geothermal resources.
In a series of open panel discussions, leading policy-makers and CEOs will focus on:
- Identifying current barriers to large-scale geothermal development in Europe
- Comparing incentive regimes and uncovering the best opportunities in emerging markets
- Navigating concession and permitting systems and understanding the competitive environment
- Raising capital through World Bank, EU and private financing
- Creating economically viable projects using low-temperature energy conversion technologies
- Overcoming the arguments against Enhanced Geothermal Systems
Focusing on the markets of central, southern and eastern Europe, industry leaders will reveal how increased government support, public and private financing, and new technologies can and will make geothermal energy the most exciting renewable energy investment prospect in 2010.

Geothermal Resources, Technologies & Economics:
A 1-day Introduction for Non-Engineers
Munich, Germany: 2, December 2009
Course objectives:
This one-day training course is designed to introduce the basics of geothermal power – the resource and the methods of harnessing it – along with its competitive positioning within the power and energy markets. In addressing the latter, the course will also briefly cover the fundamental concepts governing the supply and demand of power/energy, including the basics of power grids and the factors which determine popular economic measures such as levelised electricity cost (all with particular reference to geothermal as compared with other power sources, both fossil and renewable).
The course can be attended as a stand-alone session or as an excellent way to introduce yourself to geothermal power before attending the "GeoPower Europe" conference on the following days.
