Istituto di Geoscienze e Georisorse: Funded Projects

GEOTHERM-FORA

GEOTHERM-FORA Project

Horizon Europe Programme (G.A. 101075400)

The GEOTHERM-FORA project is a European Project funded by the Horizon Europe Programme (G.A. 101075400), which aims at supporting and strengthening the fora on geothermal systems dealing with research and innovation. The Deep Geothermal Implementation Working Group (DG-IWG) and the Platform on Deep Geothermal (ETIP-DG) are working together and interlinked. Supporting both fora has the objective to strengthen the development of new geothermal technologies to uptake the market and reach our climate and energy objectives for 2030 and 2050, in a common agreement of the sector: Industry, Research, and Public authorities.

BRIC-INAIL Asbestos Call

The project aims at the evaluation of the environmental hazard related to the presence of fibrous minerals (NOA, Naturally Occurring Asbestos) in natural settings. The project will focus on three fibrous minerals originated in different geological contexts: fibrous antigorite from the serpentinites of the Voltri Massif (Liguria); fibrous tremolite from the serpentinites of the Calabrian-Lucanian Apennines (Basilicata); fibrous fluoredenite from the Pleistocene volcanic rocks of Biancavilla (CT - Sicily), at the foothills of Mount Etna.

H2020 Project GECO (Geothermal Emission Gas Control)

GECO (Geothermal Emission Gas Control) is a European project co-funded for four years (01/10/2018 - 30/09/2022) by the European Commission under Horizon 2020, the Framework Program for Research and Technological Development 2014 - 2020.

The project aims to study and develop, at industrial level, the production of geothermal energy with zero emissions. Geothermal fluids can naturally contain small variable amounts of CO₂ and H₂S that, if released into the atmosphere, can contribute negatively to the climate change.
