Details
Standards and guidelines are essential for scaling up geothermal energy in an efficient, responsible, and transparent manner. Developed for different phases of geothermal projects, they provide orientation, support consistent decision-making, and help manage technical and regulatory complexity. This session will shed light on the importance of guidelines and will present two examples of guideline frameworks developed in Europe. A concluding panel discussion will explore how guidelines can support processes throughout the project lifecycle and foster transparent decision-making among developers, operators, investors, insurers, and public authorities.
