What goes on in Poland on the 25th of May.
Climate ministry presents a roadmap for geothermal energy
The Ministry of Climate and Environment has presented a roadmap of a multi-annual program for the development of the use of geothermal resources in Poland. It was presented by Secretary of State Piotr Dziadzio.
The document consists of nine points of using the potential of the surface and subsurface crust of the earth. In total, in the years 2022-2050, the total co-financing of geothermal projects would amount to PLN 12.785 billion with the total expenditure at the level of PLN 49.327 billion. The support would therefore amount to 26 percent of the total capital expenditure. The total potential will allow the construction of installations with a capacity of 8 559 MW and 7.6 MW el. The money will come from the National Center for Research and Development, National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management, the State Budget, KPO, other European funds and private funds.
– We want to increase the share of geothermal energy in Poland. Currently, the share of this type of energy in the generation mix is only 0.3 percent. Our goal is to raise this level to a few percent by 2050 – Dziadzio said.
