European Technology and Innovation Platform on Geothermal (ETIP-Geothermal)
Following a successful Geothermal Innovation Days in Strasbourg (3 – 4 December 2025), ETIP Geothermal is proud to present the second edition of the Geothermal Innovation Trends report, which has been produced in partnership with the European Geothermal Energy Council (EGEC).
The geothermal sector is one of the most innovative sectors in Europe’s economy.
Every year, new research and innovation, also in terms of business models, help geothermal to provide better solutions to decarbonize our economy. Geothermal also supports local economic development by supplying electrical power, heating, cooling, thermal storage and minerals to industry and communities.
To accelerate the market development of geothermal energy technologies, research and innovation allows these technologies to be less costly, more efficient, and easier to install anywhere.
The aim of EGEC’s annual report on Geothermal Innovation Trends is to describe all these technological developments.
The first report on major technological trends, published in 2024, consisted of Major Technological Trends 2024 and the Report on major market trends, both of which were published in the framework of the Geotherm Fora project. These reports covered not only developments in 2024 but also the trends of the decade 2020-2030.
This 2025 report on Geothermal Innovation Trends covers general trends with a particular focus on innovations in terms of ‘market ready’ technologies and first demonstrations of ‘close to market’ technologies.
