New technologies are expanding geothermal electricity potential in Europe, potentially reducing reliance on fossil fuels. A report by Ember indicates that 43GW of enhanced geothermal capacity could be developed at competitive costs, providing significant electricity generation. However, slow deployment risks losing EU leadership in renewable energy. Advances in drilling technology enable geothermal systems to produce clean power beyond traditional high-temperature zones. Hungary leads in untapped geothermal energy potential, followed by Türkiye, Poland, Germany, and France. The report emphasizes the need for supportive policies to match technical progress and warns of the risks of delayed deployment. Teljes cikk (Euronews.com)
