It is a local source of renewable energy, its use significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions and can replace the use of fossil fuels in the areas with the most favourable potential, which are mainly located in the east of the country, in the transboundary Pannonian Basin. The proposed approaches make it necessary and possible to move from the almost stagnant GE production, the reduction in the number of district heating systems, the limitations in thermal water extraction due to the lack of reinjection wells and the less coordinated management of GE utilisation, as it is managed by two ministries, to an accelerated and environmentally friendly extraction of thermal energy from deep underground.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Through the transfer of knowledge from the world's leading geothermal country - Iceland - our joint activities led to significantly improved formal support programmes for investments. The project objectives were achieved by mapping the deep geothermal potential for the direct use of thermal water and geothermal electricity; organising and publishing data as a basis for a future one-stop shop in the field of geothermal energy; training experts from authorities, research institutions and project developers from Slovenia and Iceland; establishing a national geothermal network; and creating an attractive environment for companies with clear guidelines and rules for the development of geothermal projects.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Professionals and the general public were given free and unrestricted access to information on the type and location of subsurface data and guidelines for the technical and economic development of projects through the project\u2019s website and materials. Regulatory authorities gained the necessary knowledge to develop and apply guidelines for their decision-making processes. Meanwhile, awareness of and adherence to these guidelines by public service providers, planners and developers enabled more accurate permit applications, resulting in a faster decision-making process.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Investors and users of thermal water were able to produce pre-feasibility and feasibility studies more quickly, while project developers used data from the two pilot areas to conduct economic analyses for new projects focusing on direct heat use or geothermal power plants. Municipalities were informed about the availability of useful data for the development of deep geothermal projects and the necessary procedures for attracting and guiding investors. Research and educational institutions strengthened their competences through the organisation and participation of staff and students in geothermal summer schools and workshops. All stakeholders in the field of geothermal energy use were invited to join the newly established geothermal network.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n The total value of the project was EUR 1,073,529.41.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Project results:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n DT 1. 1. 1., Q & A report in geothermics<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n DT 1. 1. 2., Report on overview of (web)tools and types of public information in the neighbouring countries and Iceland<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n DT 1. 1. 3., Workshop and study cases on Iceland<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n DT 1. 2. 1., Report on available data and new research<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n DT 1. 2. 1., Report on available data and new research \u2013 data:<\/span><\/span><\/a> DT 1. 2. 2., Viewer of 3D geothermal model of NE Slovenia<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n DT 1. 2. 2., Report on 3D digital geothermal model of NE Slovenia<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n DT 1. 2. 3., Go to areas for geothermal projects \u2013 Municipality Beltinci<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n DT 1. 2. 3., Go to areas for geothermal projects \u2013 Municipality Turni\u0161\u010de<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n DT 1. 2. 3., Go to areas for geothermal projects \u2013 Municipality Dobrovnik<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n DT 1. 2. 3., Go to areas for geothermal facilities \u2013 spatial data \u2013\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n DT 2. 1. 1., Report on legislation and suggestions for improvements<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n DT 2. 1. 2., Report on legislation adaptation for geological risk<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n DT 2. 1. 3., Report on legislation adaptation for electricity<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n DT 2. 2. 1., Report on establishment of web one stop shop<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n DT 2. 2. 3., Funding mechanisms for geothermal projects<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n DT 3. 1. 1., Guidelines on the development of projects of geothermal wells<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n DT 3.1.2., Guidelines on geothermal reinjection wells<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n DT 3. 1. 4., Guidelines to develop direct use<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n DT 3. 1. 4., Guidelines to develop direct use \u2013 ENERGY<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n DT 3. 1. 5., Guidelines to develop geothermal power plant<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n DT 4. 1. 1., Geothermal summer school \u2013 abstract book<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n DT 4. 2. 1., Code of conduct.
