Near-surface Geothermal Resources in the Territory of the Alpine Space (GRETA)
Start date: Dec 16, 2015, End date: Dec 15, 2018,
Description (EN): The Alpine region must tackle rising energy consumption and, accordingly, CO2 emissions reduction, related mostly to heating needs (mainly from residential and tourism sectors). The potential of renewable energy sources to handle this energy requirement has been discussed in some recent studies. However, the opportunity to utilize Near-Surface Geothermal Energy (NS ...

Assessing subsurface potentials of the Alpine Foreland Basins for sustainable planning and use of natural resources (GeoMol)
Start date: Sep 30, 2012, End date: Jun 29, 2015,
...ous targets for carbon emission reduction, renewable energy production must strongly be upgraded and made more efficient and capable for grid energy storage. Alpine Foreland Basins feature a unique geological inventory which can contribute substantially to tackle these challenges. Deep ‘Molasse’ basins at the fringe of the Alpine mountain range offer an abundant geothermal potential and storage ca ...

Transboundary Geothermal Energy Resources of Slovenia, Austria, Hungary and Slovakia (TRANSENERGY)
Start date: Mar 31, 2010, End date: Mar 30, 2013,
...re shared by different countries in a sustainable way. Natural resources, such as geothermal energy whose main carrying medium are deep groundwaters along regional flow paths are strongly linked to geological structures that do not stop at state borders. Therefore only a transboundary approach and the establishment of a joint, multi-national management system may handle the assessment of geotherma ...

Sustainable Aggregates Resource Management (SARMa)
Start date: Apr 30, 2009, End date: Oct 29, 2011,
Aggregates (crushed stone, sand and gravel) are crucial for infrastructure and construction. SEE countries are rich in aggregates, but supply is not coordinated within or across the area. Challenges are illegal and damaging quarries, unreclaimed sites, limited recycling and community opposition. Fulfilling demand requires efficient and sustainable supply chain (planning, extraction, transport, use ...
