• Workshop:Geothermal Energy: Power Generation, Heating and Cooling
• Date: 20 April Friday, 10.00-13.00 hrs
• Location: Landesvertretung Sachsen-Anhalt, Luisenstraße 18, 10117 Berlin

Geothermal energy is available everywhere and can be used in many ways. Geothermal energy is used for the heating and cooling of residential and commercial buildings. In certain regions, geothermal energy can also be used to generate electricity. For many centuries, geothermal energy has also been used to run thermal spas around the world. The workshop will discuss the various uses and associated conditions.

The workshop will provide information on geothermal power solutions, geothermal heating and cooling of buildings.
