The inaugural conference of the Mayors’ Geothermal Club is a two-day conference and matchmaking event for municipalities and organisations interested in identifying and exploring opportunities for collaboration to improve their potentials to implement geothermal-based district heating systems.The Mayors’ Geothermal Club will facilitate synergies and cooperation between the key stakeholders of the European geothermal market and will provide primarily European municipalities with deep geothermal potentials with an appropriate framework where all issues related to the utilisation of their geothermal potential can be openly discussed.The event is hosted by Geonardo Environmental Technologies Ltd, coordinator of the €11 millionGeothermal Communities (GEOCOM) projectfunded under the EU’s Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) - CONCERTO III Initiative.Mayors’ Geothermal Club will be officially launched on 8th October 2015 within the framework of this inaugural conference in Budapest, Hungary. Representatives of frontrunner European municipalities in geothermal energy applications, technology providers and consultants as well as delegates of key financial institutions with deep geothermal energy in their portfolio will be attending to form the core of this Club, which is expected to become a driving agent of various EU level policies related to geothermal energy in the future.The conference also provides an excellent opportunity for networking and matchmaking by bringing together municipalities with deep geothermal potential, service providers and engineering companies as well as the representatives of various financial institutions and policy makers. With pre-scheduled 20-minute meetings, the conference participants will have the chance to identify potential co-operation opportunities.
