Summary:The European Green Deal, the EU’s climate and economic policy that aims at transforming Europe into the first climate-neutral continent by 2050, focuses on clean energy and climate action. However, the energy transition will not happen without citizens. The CROWDTHERMAL project places citizens at the centre of energy supply development. The project has elaborated web tools for community investors, local authorities and project developers. Through the “Core Services” portal, they can identify the most efficient social engagement strategies and financial instruments; carry out a self-assessment on financial and risk mitigation; discover the parameters for economic modelling of projects; learn the fundamental aspects for the successful implementation of a geothermal project; and browse a meta-database of geothermal projects with the option to self-register.
