Serbia Advances Geothermal Drilling for the MiÅ¡eluk District Heating Plant in Novi Sad Serbia is moving forward with plans to develop a geothermal district heating system in MiÅ¡eluk, a rapidly urbanizing area of Novi Sad. The project is intended to place geothermal energy at the centre of a new low-carbon heating network, supported by solar power and natural gas backup. Exploratory drilling and construction of the heat distribution network are being carried out by JKP Novosadska toplana, Novi Sad’s public district heating utility. The initiative is supported through the United Nations Development Programme’s “Geothermal Energy in Serbia” programme, with financial backing from Slovakia. The MiÅ¡eluk project is important not only because it could provide a new renewable heat source for Novi Sad, but also because it demonstrates how geothermal energy can be integrated into urban development from the earliest planning stages. Rather than retrofitting a geothermal system into an establi...
Canada and Tanzania Unite to Unlock Geothermal Energy in Meru: A Powerful Step Toward a Greener Future
In a groundbreaking move set to reshape Tanzania’s energy landscape, Climate Action Africa (CAA) and the Tanzania Geothermal Development Company (TGDC) have officially launched a game-changing initiative: Undertaking Detailed Surface Study for Meru Geothermal Prospect . Robert Buluma This dynamic collaboration marks the first Climate Action Africa partnership of its kind in Tanzania and holds the promise of transforming the nation’s energy future through geothermal power. A Vision Born at the Foot of Mount Meru The Meru Geothermal Prospect, nestled beneath the majestic Mount Meru in Northern Tanzania, is no ordinary site. It is a sleeping giant—an untapped source of clean, renewable, low-emission energy that could power thousands of homes and industries. With the support of the Government of Canada and technical partners like TownRock Energy (UK), Oxfam Consults, and Aquarius Resources, this venture is more than a project—it’s a leap forward in climate resilience and energy inde...
