7 WP3 Towards a European Geothermal Information Platform Objectives Study the condition for implementing an European Geothermal Information Platform Work setting standards Propose a structure Prepare a references to be followed at national level Put the base for a data model to share information Define general rules to manage catalogued data and implement services Following INSPIRE rule and technical specification

8 WP3 Towards a European Geothermal Information Platform Geothermal Databases Scientists, operators and consultants underground data, maps Public/reserved National (most cases)/international (operators/consultant) Geothermal info collection Regional, national and European administrations regulations, documents, descriptions and maps of geothermal leases and permits, and energy production values Public National/local Geothermal info collection Information providers general information (e.g. definitions, terms) in the form general information (e.g. definitions, terms) in the form of texts and figures of texts and figures Public National

9 WP3 Towards a European Geothermal Information Platform Geothermal info collection Manufacturers components for geothermal plants Public National/international Geothermal info collection Funding and insurance agencies information aimed at creating risk management and economic analyses of all proposed projects reserved DB from Public data National/international Geothermal info collection Education centers Training courses Public National/local

10 WP3 Towards a European Geothermal Information Platform Questionnaire structure Task 3.2 State-of-the-art General Database Context information Data Master List Scientific and technical aspects Social acceptance (including environmental issues) Code (thesaurus, glossary, lexicon, reporting code) Skills & employees, energy needs Research R&D Training and education Regulatory aspects Economics (fund, risks&insurance) Other (hints) Database Application to develop (including INSPIRE awareness) Procedures for data update and data management

11 Towards a Geothermal European Information Platform EGIP content 7: Regulatory aspects 8: Economics (including risks & insurance) 1: Scientific Technical aspects (underground, temp, reservoir) 6: Training & education 5: Research (project, road map) Geothermal Platform 3: Code 2: Social acceptance Widely distributed Structured information 4: Skills & employees Energy need Widely distributed Un-Structured information, always documents Not yet included into any Database

12 State of the Art Needs and gaps Majority of the crucial issues (I): to elaborate a common database gathering info from various sources to define tools to manage the exploited aquifers and to assess the possibility of new operations to harmonize services and data management following a precise protocol, which should also define data content and format to be conform to INSPIRE

13 State of the Art Needs and gaps Majority of the crucial issues (II): to provide tools helping to select potentially interesting areas also taking into account other factors beside geothermal potential, e.g., energy demand, potential coverage of different kind of energy demand with respect to geothermal heat and power potential supply, social aspects registration system of geothermal and cold water wells tools to manage regulatory forms (restriction maps, on-line permissions and concessions request forms) Integrated tool to manage all data types and provide synthetic and aggregated information

14 WP3 Towards a European Geothermal Information Platform D3.1 > Delivered April 2013 delay = 2 months

15 WP3 Towards a European Geothermal Information Platform Task 3.3 Preparation of a feasibility study Aims of EGIP idea: reduce the information fragmentation reduce the effort for data provision reduce risk in geothermal unsustainable management by showing distribution of operations raise awareness of geothermal energy by providing an overview of its application at European scale increase focus and investment in geothermal energy raise awareness of geothermal energy potential provide information to operators and potential users (administrations, private users, citizens) make and show statistics verify amount and distribution of data (hence, also needs and gaps)

16 WP3 Towards a European Geothermal Information Platform EGIP: for who? potential international energy users (international operators and funding agencies interested in launching new geothermal projects) any geothermal stakeholder to respond to the increasing concerns of nongeothermal sector stakeholders that geothermal applications are too confusing and difficult to manage EGIP: what is? distributed system: each (national) data provider delivers its data according to a common standard data model and common services. Information are catalogued and served following the INSPIRE directive A EU portal will request all national service providers to deliver their part of the European puzzle

17 EGIP Architecture overview «European products» Common rules for: 1. Metadata (INSPIRE?) Catalogue service (CSW) 2. Web Services: - View - Access (download) - Process 3. Common data model, used by services to deliver and process data DB1 DB2 DB3 DB4 Metadata describing datasets and services Metadata Catalogue Each provider delivers a piece of the puzzle: Which can be map or data For the services: - View and access/download services are well specified in INSPIRE - Process services have to be compliant with a general framework only For the common data model to be used by the access, download and process services: - to specify this data model : input from existing DB, and INSPIRE requirements - Participation to Specification Working Groups for standardisation (INSPIRE and others) - Development of vocabularies (code-lists)

18 Towards a Geothermal European Information Platform EGIP functionalities EGIP tools have to guarantee a 360 data browsing (e.g., browsing from a catalogue to a document, from a document to a tabled info or spatial data) and allowing a deep survey into the geothermal knowledge.

19 Towards a Geothermal European Information Platform EGIP content

20 Towards a European Geothermal Database EGIP benefit Guaranteed data interoperability: retrieval, viewing and access of information from partners and other providers (via WMS, e.g. protected areas) Harmonized geothermal domain at a European level Efficiency, thanks to the non-multiplicity of data sources, the latter being directly related to national databases Guaranteed ownership: data belong to and stay in the country they are related to. Durability and maintainability Economically viable, requiring only coordination with respect to what each country would need to develop independently Productivity, by covering all published data in the long term.

21 WP3 Towards a European Geothermal Information Platform EGIP: how? Step-by-step plan: o First step - Stage 0: map the links and documents where geothermal information is currently provided at a national level o Short term Stage 1: implemented as Joint Activity in GEO ERA- NET o Medium term Stage 2 Joint call? o Long term Stage 3 Future actions EGIP: when? 21

41 Survey on EGIP Actions: Identification of national stakeholders Identification of trans-national stakeholders Organization of a common and shared survey, provided as web-questionnaire Survey harvest and analysis Aims: Identification of: what problems EGIP should solve who should use EGIP assess the EGIP necessity Participants: Experts, Project developers, Industry, Research Survey: The survey was divided in 3 parts: 1. Institution typology 2. EGIP concept and 3. EGIP pilot experience, which was optional

42 Respondents Surveys completed France Hungary Iceland Slovenia Switzerland Country Submitted Survey completed Feedback [%] Switzerland % Italy % Slovenia % Hungary % 48 Iceland % France % Trans-national stakeholders % Total %

43 Survey Results Many stakeholders are interested in the European Geothermal Information Platform The main interested groups are Academia/Research centres, public authorities and industry The interviewees showed significantly more interest in hydrothermal than in petrothermal (EGS) systems. Easy and quick access to data, documents, specialist information are seen as most important added values to today s situation. All three raw data types (well data, geophysical surveys, production data) resulted very valuable Temperature and heat flow maps, geological maps, cross-section and 3D models, interpreted seismic lines and heat flow maps are the most valuable interpreted spatial datasets Best practices and guidelines are the document type mostly required INSPIRE awareness and country compliance cannot be evaluated IGA and EGEC web site are the most used and known geothermal information platform

44 WP3 Towards a European Geothermal Information Platform Report on EGIP Joint activity > Delivered January 2016

45 Last year (end of 2015) Geo ERA-NET project consortium and the Supervisory Board introduced two tasks on EGIP: 1. To form a group of 3-4 experts (or more if needed) to extend the INSPIRE oriented technical guideline for geothermal data. (no competition not suitable for tender) 2. Development of a user friendly web based front-end to access, view, download, share and analyse data and information of the gradually developing EGIP (tendered out) The time limits and administrative issues on regard of fund management, made the call unfeasible. In February 2016 the call for tender on EGIP was abandoned.

46 EGIP Expert Group Established in January 2016 Intended to help in the management of a call for tender for developing a web based user friendly front end for EGIP Since the call for tender was given up, the EGIP EG decided to synthetize the experience acquired during the Geothermal ERA-NET into an overall document for offering an overview of EGIP to prepare its implementation Analysis of possible future scenarios for EGIP implementation

47 EGIP EG main outcomes Recommended geothermal data themes and relevant INSPIRE guidelines Geodata and non-geodata EGIP deals with geodata and non-geodata. The EGIP Expert Group strongly recommends to consider at the same level geodata and non-geodata in the EGIP implementation. European harmonization Implementing EGIP is an opportunity to assist the harmonization the geothermal European sector at the European level. Stakeholders involvement from the beginning Sustainable governance The Information Platform needs sustainable governance operating even after the end of the EGIP implementation project to guarantee the accessibility and the update of the data, and to allow the evolution of the platform for fitting the user s demand. Border harmonization, cross border discontinuity and interpolation issue

48 Future scenarios Two ways were investigated: a) GEOTHERMICA CoFund Action: limited possibilities for EGIP to be tackled in that framework. However, non-geodata could be covered by GEOTHERMICA. b) GeoERA CoFund Action: feedbacks were positive, EGIP could have a good opportunity for its implementation within the Geoscience Information Platform that GeoERA consortium. However, some issues were raised: GeoERA will deal only with geodata, whereas non-geodata are important information for EGIP. Not all EGIP partners participate in GeoERA and would require to be inserted as third parties The maintenance of EGIP platform both at central, European level and at national level, is not planned and guaranteed Geothermal Technological and Innovation Platform (Geothermal ETIP), recognized by European Commission on July 2016 and which includes representatives from industry, academia, research centres, and sectorial associations, can be considered another suitable and strategic place for preparing the EGIP platform implementation.

49 WP3 Towards a European Geothermal Information Platform Report on EGIP EG > Delivered January 2016 European Geothermal Information Platform - EGIP - An overview to prepare the implementation and includes also INSPIRE oriented guidelines to implement EGIP.
