Geothermal project development has several risky components, the most important one being the resource risk.

Beyond exploration, the bankability of a geothermal project is threatened by this geological risk.
The GEORISK project works to establish risk insurance all over Europe and in some key target third countries to cover the resource risk. It appears clear that a de-risking scheme must be designed according to the market maturity of the sector.

This webinar will discuss some key results of the GEORISK project with our experts.
