Geothermal energy remains one of the most underestimated yet promising players in Europe’s heating transition. With its potential already proven or actively being explored, one might expect new projects to emerge rapidly. While some growth is evident—particularly in regions with existing plants—the pace of development still falls short of what could be achieved. A key challenge troubling project developers is the rising investment cost, coupled with relatively high exploration risks.

Tackling Financial Challenges

We believe that major challenges can only be effectively addressed through productive exchanges between key stakeholders. That’s why we are proud to host the 7th International Geothermal Investment Conference (IGC Invest) on June 3-4 in Frankfurt, Main. Once again, our goal is to bring together diverse perspectives—from municipalities, project developers, and industry players to banks and investors. This multifaceted approach sheds light on key challenges, showcases existing solutions, and fosters the development of new strategies.

What to Expect from the Event

The IGC Invest 2025 will feature exciting current projects and their innovative financing models, such as Innargi and Innovative Energie Pullach. Another notable participant is Amperland Thermalwärme, which is pioneering the integration of geothermal energy into a waste incineration plant.

Beyond project financing, the event will shift perspectives to investors, including Baseload Capital, and later to banks such as the RaboBank.

Additionally, we will explore ways to improve cost efficiency, particularly in drilling, construction, and operation. A key company featured in this segment is OMV. Lastly, we’ll look toward the future, examining how lithium extraction from geothermal brines could enhance project profitability.

Focus on Discussion and Networking

To ensure a dynamic exchange of ideas, IGC Invest is structured around short forums with input presentations, followed by interactive discussions. A key highlight of the event is our networking evening, offering participants an opportunity to engage in meaningful conversations while enjoying a breathtaking view of the Frankfurt skyline, courtesy of our premium sponsor Hogan Lovells.
