2 EU RES Directive Geothermal Energy for the first time clearly defined within a piece of EU-legislation valid for all 27 EU Member states! The following definitions also apply: (c) geothermal energy means energy stored in the form of heat beneath the surface of solid earth; Taip pat taikomos tokios sąvokų apibrėžtys:: (c) geoterminė energija šilumos energija, susikaupusi po kietuoju žemės sluoksniu; EU Directive 2009/28/EC on the promotion of the use of energy from Renewable Energy Sources

16 EU RES Directive EU Directive 2009/28/EC on the promotion of the use of energy from Renewable Energy Sources Publication in the OJ on 5 June 2009 Member states had to submit the National Renewable Energy Action Plans (NREAP) until June last NREAP submitted in summer In total, 20 % RES will be achieved according to NREAPs

17 EU RES Directive Main topics for geothermal: Article 3: Mandatory national overall targets and measures for the use of energy from renewable sources 1. Each Member State shall ensure that the share of energy from renewable sources, calculated in accordance with Articles 5 to 11, in gross final consumption of energy in 2020 is at least its national overall target for the share of energy from renewable sources in that year, as set out in the third column of the table in part A of Annex I. Article 5: Calculation of the share of energy from renewable sources (rules for calculation of heat pumps in Annex VII, to be adjusted by Eurostat) Article 13: Administrative procedures, regulations and codes Article 14: Information and training

18 EU RES Directive Lithuanian NREAP submitted in time

21 EU RES Directive EU Directive 2009/28/EC on the promotion of the use of energy from Renewable Energy Sources Art. 14: 3. Member States shall ensure that certification schemes or equivalent qualification schemes become or are available by 31 December 2012 for installers of small-scale biomass boilers and stoves, solar photovoltaic and solar thermal systems, shallow geothermal systems and heat pumps. Those schemes may take into account existing schemes and structures as appropriate, and shall be based on the criteria laid down in Annex IV. Each Member State shall recognise certification awarded by other Member States in accordance with those criteria.

22 Certification An official document, issued by an awarding body, which recognises the achievements, knowledge, know-how, skills and/or competences of an installer following an assessment and validation against a predefined standard. (Glossary of Qualicert-Manuals) Qualicert: Common approach for certification or equivalent qualification of installers of smallscale renewable energy systems in buildings

23 Shallow Geothermal Training and Certification For a sustainable market, quality of material and services is paramount To guarantee the necessary knowledge and skills, training and certification has to be established Some countries have national schemes: Switzerland Germany Sweden The recently completed project GEOTRAINET (supported by IEE / EU) aimed at providing harmonised material and curricula GEOTRAINET is now in the process to set up an ongoing framework

24 Shallow Geothermal Training The aim of the project Geo-Education for a sustainable geothermal heating and cooling market, GEOTRAINET, was to develop the training of professionals involved in Ground Source Heat Pump installations (GSHP). From the different groups of professionals involved in a GSHP-project, the GEOTRAINET project was focused on two target groups: designers (who undertake feasibility studies including geology) drillers (who make the boreholes and insert the tubes). The project included the creation of an EU-wide certification scheme for both planners and installers of GSHP. From EU-project (funded by EACI) Since 2012 activity of associations EGEC and EFG

25 Shallow Geothermal Training GEOTRAINET project coordination with EFG, assisted by EGEC Partners were associations, research institutes and universities GT Skills Univ. Newcastle Univ. Lund Additional network of contacts from Portugal to Estonia and from Norway to Greece BRGM EFG EGEC Arsenal Research RGS U.P. Valencia More places for training / national contacts possible at later stage

26 Shallow Geothermal Training The following tasks were completed in GEOTRAINET: Research into data currently useful for GSHP installers Evaluate skills required to design, drill and install GSHP Create curricula for installers, designers and drillers Create training tools, test and optimization of the products (training courses, e-learning) Suggest standards and codes to create a European market Propose a European certification framework
