Geothermal energy, the heat naturally occurring in the Earth's crust, is an abundant and ubiquitous source of energy. Advances in drilling and subsurface technologies are making geothermal affordable and scalable in regions once thought inaccessible.

Europe's geothermal landscape is unique, combining one of the world's longest geothermal operational histories with some of its most advanced policy and technology frameworks. From Iceland's legacy utilization of geothermal energy for heating and electricity, to the geothermal district heating networks of France, Hungary, and the Netherlands, the continent demonstrates that geothermal can be successfully developed across a wide range of applications and geographies. GeoMap Europe now provides the tools necessary to accelerate and expand on that legacy.

Leveraging millions of thermal, geological, and structural data points, GeoMap Europe hosts the world's most comprehensive and freely accessible visualization of subsurface heat across the region, as well as key surface data, identifying where geothermal energy can power cities, cool digital infrastructure, and store renewable energy underground.

GeoMap Europe highlights include:

"Geothermal is the sleeping clean energy giant that the world has consistently overlooked, while collectively handwringing about the future of energy," said Jamie Beard, Executive Director of Project InnerSpace. "If Europe moves quickly to launch its next chapter of geothermal development, energy independence and decarbonization are the dual prize. GeoMap Europe is the tool that will give developers, researchers, and governments a clear picture of where to get started."

GeoMap Europe builds on earlier regional GeoMap releases across Africa, Asia, North America, India, the Middle East, Oceania, and South America, advancing Project InnerSpace's mission to democratize the geothermal opportunity. With this release—the final milestone in GeoMap's first phase—a freely accessible, state of the art geothermal resources map has now been published for every region of the world.

About Project InnerSpace
Project InnerSpace is the leading independent non-profit organization dedicated to the global development of geothermal energy. We are a focused research organization, on a mission to remove the major barriers standing in the way of the exponential growth and development of geothermal energy worldwide by 2030.

About GeoMap™
GeoMap is Project InnerSpace's global geothermal exploration platform, developed in collaboration with more than 100 scientists worldwide. It integrates millions of subsurface and surface data points into a freely accessible, interactive map, helping governments, businesses, and communities identify and advance geothermal opportunities. Since its launch, GeoMap has provided the foundational analysis for multiple major international studies, including the International Energy Agency's Future of Geothermal report, and is freely available to the public at geomap.projectinnerspace.org/geomap/.
