GEOCOM
Geothermal Communities: Combining geothermal energy with innovative energy-efficiency measures
Main focus of the project GEOCOM is the exploration of the possibilities lying in the use of geothermal energy. The project Geothermal Communities comprises three demonstration communities, where actual building measures are undertaken: Morahalom (Hungary), Galanta (Slovakia) and Montieri (Italy).
Within GEOCOM, practical geothermal projects are implemented, combined with energy efficiency measures. Additionally, research is another important aspect of the project, focusing on making geothermal projects more cost efficient and technologically sound and on the socio-economic aspects of the investments in geothermal projects. The overall aim of the project Geothermal Communities is to demonstrate the best available technologies in the use of geothermal energy combined with innovative energy-efficiency measures and the integration of other renewable energy sources.
Four other cities from Serbia, Romania, Poland and FYROM are taking part as project partners. They do either already have ongoing geothermal systems that need the adoption of new technologies or they would like to implement new geothermal systems and want to profit from the experiences made within the project. Dissemination and training activities complement the project and help transferring the project technology and approach to other communities.
The project started in January 2011 and will end in December 2014.
GEOCOM consists of the following sites
• Mórahalom, HU
• Galanta, SK
• Montieri, IT
The associated communities
• Municipality of Kocani, MK
• Municipality of Mszczonow, PL
• Municipality of Oras Sacueni, RO
• Municipality of Subotica, RS
