Project title:
Promoting the Implementation of Hybrid Heating and Cooling Systems Using Shallow Geothermal Energy in the Danube Region – Danube GeoHeCo
Donor:
Interreg Danube Region Programme, co-funded by the European Union
Project value:
EUR 2,481,000.00 (RDA Bačka budget EUR 120,160.00)
Project objective:
The main objective of the Danube GeoHeCo project is to increase the use of shallow geothermal energy in the Danube Region through strong transnational cooperation in the promotion and support of implementation activities. The purpose of the proposed activities is to contribute to the achievement of ambitious EU energy and climate goals by 2030, and consequently by 2050. The project will support the integration of shallow geothermal energy solutions into existing domestic heating and cooling systems that rely on fossil fuels. At the same time, awareness will be raised and capacities in this field will be strengthened.
