The establishment of the European Technology and Innovation Platform (ETIP) for Deep Geothermal Energy (DG) has the overarching objective of accelerating the technological development of deep geothermal energy in Europe. It is an open stakeholder group supported by the European Commission within the H2020 programme. The main objective is an overall cost reduction, including social, environmental and technological costs.
