France Makes It Easier To Go Geothermal With New Procedures

Accelerating Energy Transition: France Simplifies Geothermal Mining Procedures By: Robert Buluma In a bold move to expedite France's energy transition and bolster its supply security, Bruno Le Maire and Roland Lescure unveiled groundbreaking measures on April 12th, aimed at simplifying mining procedures. These measures are poised to pave the way for crucial projects vital to both energy transition and supply security. France boasts a rich subsoil teeming with essential resources pivotal for successful energy transition endeavors, such as geothermal energy, lithium, and copper. However, the exploitation of these resources has been hampered by lengthy bureaucratic procedures.  Unlocking Geothermal Potential: Geothermal energy, a renewable and carbon-neutral energy source, harnesses the thermal energy from the Earth's subterranean depths and aquifers. With 90% of the national territory suitable for geothermal exploitation, it stands as a prime candidate for scaling up renewable en
