| GeoPLASMA-CE | Planning, Assessment and Management of Shallow Geothermal Energy in Central Europe https://programme2014-20.interreg-central.eu/Content.Node/GeoPLASMA-CE.html | INTERREG Central Europe 2014-2020 | 2016-2019 | GeoPLASMA-CE aimed to foster the share of shallow geothermal use in heating and cooling strategies in central Europe. The project created a web-based interface between geoscientific experts and public as well as private stakeholders to make the existing know-how about resources and risks associated to geothermal use accessible for territorial energy planning and management strategies in Central Europe. | geothermal energy, heating-cooling, strategy, web platform, energy planning, ICT tool | Geological Survey of Austria Austria | kontakt@geosphere.at |
| DARLINGE | Danube Region Leading Geothermal Energy https://dtp.interreg-danube.eu/approved-projects/darlinge | INTERREG Danube Transnational Programme 2014-2020 | 2017-2019 | The project's specific objectives are: to increase the use of geothermal energy and help the penetration of energy efficient cascade systems and matching them with existing heat-market demands; to establish a market-replicable tool-box consisting of 3 complementary modules for sustainable management of deep geothermal resources (an independent indicator-based benchmark evaluation of current uses, a decision tree to help developers, and a geological risk mitigation scheme to maximize the success rate of a first geothermal well), and to test these tools on three cross-border pilot areas; to advance stakeholder cooperation to foster geothermal developments and to create a strong geothermal value chain. | geothermal energy, heating cooling, strategy, best practices | Geological and Geophysical Institute of Hungary Hungary | Nádor Annamária nador.annamaria@mfgi.hu |
| Danube GeoHeCo | https://interreg-danube.eu/projects/danube-geoheco | Interreg Danube Region Programme 2021-2027 | 2024-2026 | Energy power systems in the Danube Region are mainly based on fossil fuels. To sever energy dependence and confront climate change, municipalities, regions, governments and the EU are forced to reconsider their energy supplies and shift to renewable energies (RE). Switching fossil fuel based heating and cooling (HC) systems to geothermal (or other renewables) is a long, capital intensive process and the availability of most base-load RES is confined regionally. The Danube GeoHeCo project identifies this problem and intends to increase the use of one RES that is available throughout Europe with very little geographical limitations and low CAPEX: that of shallow geothermal energy (SGE) through the integration of SG solutions into existing HC systems. | geothermal energy, heating cooling, energy transition | Medjimurje Energy Agency Ltd.

| Greetgeo | Green transition with geothermal energy https://greetgeo.eu/ | European Innovation Council and SMEs Executive Agency green research and innovation programme under gran agreement Nº1011180405 | 2025-2027 | Greet GEO will increase the capacity of regional innovation ecosystems, especially SMEs in certain less developed Central European (Pannonian Basin) regions and in selected outermost regions in a synergetic manner. It focuses on the utilization of geothermal resources with a holistic approach, with niche pilots in deep geothermal and shallow geothermal, in line with the specific domains and niches, and needs of the target regions. | geothermal energy, SME, capacity increase, policy | Energy institute HRVOJE POŽAR Croatia | Dražen Jakšić eihp@eihp.hr |
