Speaker: Taras Popadynets, Head of Geothermal Ukraine
Ukraine stands at a pivotal second in its vitality transition, in search of to diversify its vitality combine alongside the EU technique and scale back dependence on fossil fuels to boost the vitality safety stage. Geothermal vitality presents a promising resolution with its abundance of untapped potential.
With vital O&G trade historical past, infrastructure and geotemperature situations, Ukraine has the potential for appreciable geothermal assets, together with high-temperature geothermal reservoirs (each hydro and petrothermal) and shallow aquifers, that are distributed throughout its territory with probably the most promising areas confined to the oil & gas-bearing areas.
Harnessing this indigenous, renewable geoenergy useful resource gives numerous advantages, from mitigating greenhouse gasoline emissions to offering inexpensive options for native communities, enhancing vitality safety and fostering financial growth of Ukraine together with the EU RePower technique and Decarbonization Plan.
Nevertheless, regardless of its potential, geothermal vitality stays largely underexploited in Ukraine. How can Ukraine leverage its ample geothermal assets to diversify its vitality portfolio and improve vitality safety? What are the important thing steps wanted to raise Ukraine’s geothermal profile and combine it into the worldwide vitality market?
