Regional Geothermal Research Project GIGA-M: A Step Towards Sustainable Energy Supply in Munich and Surroundings By  Robert Buluma A significant step towards a sustainable energy future is being taken in Munich and the surrounding district. A broad coalition of stakeholders is working together to advance the use of deep geothermal energy. The goal is to quickly and sustainably tap into the heat energy in the underground through a variety of new projects. This is to be done based on an optimized joint use of the thermal water reservoir in the Greater Munich area. An essential basis for this endeavor is an extensive seismic measurement campaign to be carried out as part of the GIGA-M research project. The funding decision from the Federal Ministry of Economics and Climate Protection is now available, and the project can officially begin. Over a period of four years, it aims to prepare the region for a transition to a climate-neutral, secure, and affordable heat supply. Under the leadersh
