Surge in Investment and Government Support toward Geothermal Power Generation Drives Europe Geothermal Power Generation Market
Wind farms and photovoltaic projects successfully complement investments in geothermal projects. This is owing to the challenges associated with utilizing wind and solar energies for power generation; for example, wind turbines are ineffective on calm days and the output of solar panels is reduced at night and on cloudy days. Natural geothermal energy is available for commercial use 24 hours a day, regardless of weather conditions. The development of the geothermal energy sector requires huge capital investments that fail to be completely financed from public funds only. This development also requires the active participation of the private sector. Investments in geothermal energy projects help diversify the global energy mix, protect power grids from the instability of conventional renewable sources (wind and solar energy), and reduce energy costs. According to the ESFC Investment Group, over the last decade, the turnover of geothermal industry has exceeded US$ 4 billion per year, and the global fleet of geothermal power plants surpassed more than 500 plants of various sizes. The increased interest of investors in this area is due to the unlimited resources hidden in the depths of the planet.
Europe Geothermal Power Generation Market Overview
The Europe geothermal power generation market is segmented into Turkey, Iceland, Italy, Russia, and the Rest of Europe. Europe accounted for the second largest market share in the geothermal power generation market worldwide owing to the presence of geothermal energy-producing countries, including Turkey, Italy, and Iceland. In addition, a rise in awareness about renewable power generation and associated investments in the region, owing to the targets set by governments of European countries to reduce carbon emissions, is expected to boost the market growth in the coming years. Moreover, ongoing geopolitical wars in the region, such as Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Hamas, have disrupted the supply chain of oil and gas products between Europe and other regions across the globe. This has further increased investment toward renewable power-generating technologies, which is likely to fuel market growth from 2023 to 2031.
