“His conclusion: A performance increase to 30 to 50 percent is possible”. Dealing with seismic events that are triggered on geothermal projects, was a central theme of the second conference day. Important here is”a response plan that sets clear targets based on a mikroseismischen monitoring system, responds to seismic events in the region of the geothermal reservoir, Dr. Stefan explained Managing Director of the company Q-con from bad Bergzabern in the Forum of seismicity, Baisch”. Last but not least, Cornelia Viertl by the Federal Environment Ministry presented the new plans of the BMU on the remuneration of the part within the framework of the EEG.
She made it clear that the BMU recognizes the potential of geothermal energy for electricity generation and proposes therefore an increase in the base salary, as well as a drilling cost grant. The deep geothermal energy is because of its base load capacity an interesting ingredient in the mix of renewable energies. This is reflected in various energy scenarios. This year’s Conference has shown once more that there are ways and means to raise the potential of this form of energy in the coming decades”, sums up Marcus Brian, Managing Director of Enerchange. A variety of companies from home and abroad took advantage of the Conference to demonstrate their products and services to the public. Exhibitor and sponsor of the Conference was for example, the French company Cryostar, which specializes in the development of highly efficient heat exchanger systems and use them among other things in Geothermiekraftwerken.

Major Anklag the attractive programme of the Conference is held every year.
