This report brings together the results of the work in Work package 2 of the Geothermal ERANET, and comes to a set of recommendations on how to bridge gaps, overcome barriers and promote the use of geothermal energy in Europe. The consortium has identified nine themes or clusters for joint work, which all have relevance for promoting the use of geothermal energy in Europe. The report presents an overview of ongoing international work that should be complemented with Geothermal ERANET joint actions. The report concludes with suggestions for joint activities on: operational issues, a European Geothermal Information Platform, new concepts, and risk mitigation.
