G E O T H E R M A L C O M M U N I T I E S FACT SHEET Project acronym: GeoCom Project full title:Geothermal Communities – demonstrating the cascading use of geothermal energy for district heating with small scale RES integration and retrofitting measures Funded period: 01.01.2010. – 31.12.2014 Total budget: 11.541.696 EUR EC funding: 3.513.704 EUR Coordinator: Geonardo Ltd. Number or beneficiaries: 16

3. G E O T H E R M A L C O M M U N I T I E S OBJECTIVES Pilot scale implementation of geothermal energy applications Energy efficiency measures by means of retrofitting and optimalisation Integration of geothermal resources with other RES developing and implementing an efficient monitoring system for the demonstration activities applied technological research on system integration, applications and optimalisation to help the demonstration activities of the project to be more efficient detailed socio-economic research and studies for the public perception and to ease the preparation of similar future projects, pro-active training and dissemination activities initiate and facilitate the networking of interested Communities by setting up Mayor’s Geothermal Club
