Project overview<\/h3>\n

One of the challenges facing the European Union is to help promote the transition to a secure, sustainable and competitive energy system that reduces dependence on fossil fuels through significant advances in knowledge about renewable resources. Geothermal energy is one of the least known but most efficient sources of renewable energy. The aim of the GEOTERMAC project is to develop cooperation methodologies and tools to strengthen R&D&I capacities in order to contribute to the energy transition in Macaronesia and S\u00e3o Tom\u00e9 and Pr\u00edncipe through the development of geothermal energy. Territorial cooperation is a key factor in achieving the project’s objectives, given that these are territories with common characteristics and problems, and where geothermal energy is an existing energy resource that needs to be researched more thoroughly in order to assess its use as a renewable energy source. This project is expected to mark a turning point in the advancement and efficiency of the current energy system in these regions, thanks to the development of various actions and the application of new and innovative geochemical and geophysical methodologies to significantly deepen knowledge about the potential geothermal resources existing in the subsoil. The final beneficiaries of this project will be the societies of Macaronesia and S\u00e3o Tom\u00e9 and Pr\u00edncipe. <\/p>\n

Overall objective of the project: To develop cooperation methodologies and tools to strengthen R&D&I capabilities with the aim of contributing to the energy transition in Macaronesia and S\u00e3o Tom\u00e9 and Pr\u00edncipe through the development of geothermal energy.<\/p>\n

Specific Objective 1:<\/strong> Analyse and evaluate the current status of geothermal energy in Macaronesia and S\u00e3o Tom\u00e9 and Principe and its potential development. In addition, awareness campaigns will be carried out on geothermal energy and its current status in Macaronesia. <\/p>\n
