| Title | Why is Geothermal Energy Underdeveloped in the E.U? |
| Summary | This thesis investigates the underlying causes of the underdevelopment of geothermal energy in the E.U. The three identified obstacles to the development of geothermal energy in the E.U. are: 1) complex technology with a short supply of specialized workforce in the sector; 2) inadequate energy policy for the geothermal industry in the E.U. and 3) high upfront costs. The results show that geothermal energy, a highly clean and sustainable energy, is on the rise thanks to climate goals set by the E.U; however, to become an established industry, amendments around geothermal energy policy must be addressed. The chosen methodology for this thesis is desktop research. |
