Investment Opportunities in Europe’s Geothermal Energy Market: Country-by-Country Resources, Companies, Challenges, and Growth Prospects Europe is developing one of the world’s most diverse geothermal investment markets. The continent combines mature geothermal electricity industries in Italy, Iceland, and Türkiye with rapidly expanding district-heating markets in France, Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, Hungary, Denmark, and Switzerland. The most attractive European opportunities are not limited to power generation. Investors can participate in geothermal district heating and cooling, industrial heat, geothermal heat pumps, enhanced geothermal systems, closed-loop systems, thermal storage, lithium extraction, drilling services, equipment manufacturing, and integrated energy networks. The European Geothermal Energy Council reported that ten new geothermal district-heating and cooling systems began operation during 2025, adding approximately 70 MWth of capacity. New systems were report...
Exclusive interview with Exergy : discover the new Gemini dual-flow radial outflow turbine, the first single-unit ORC solution for 30–60 MW geothermal projects, offering up to 30 % lower costs and 99 % availability. By: Robert Buluma . An interview with Luca Pozzoni - Deputy CEO | Group CFO - Exergy International and the Exergy Team 1. Can you walk us through the key design innovations in your new Gemini turbine and how it differs from previous models? The major innovation of the Gemini turbine lies in the dual-flow configuration: unlike conventional radial outflow turbines which are equipped with a single bladed overhung rotor disk, the Gemini features a double-side bladed rotor disk mounted in a between-bearing configuration. This enables the efficient processing of significantly larger volumes of fluid, leading to higher power output having basically two radial outflow turbines in a single machine with enhanced operational stability and simplified mainte...
