Danube GeoHeCo project together with Transnational Action Plan presented during the national workshop on geothermal energy innovations held in Zagreb, Croatia
On 24th of September 2025, Medjimurje Energy Agency Ltd. (MENEA) took part in a national workshop held in Zagreb, focused on innovative approaches for geothermal energy exploration, utilization, and storage. The event was organized within the framework of two transnational projects — InnoGeoPot (Innovative exploration methods for geothermal potential assessment and energy storage) and TRANSGEO (Transforming abandoned wells for geothermal energy production).
The workshop provided valuable insights into the development of geothermal potential in Zagreb and across Croatia, highlighting the possibilities of repurposing abandoned wells and implementing deep and shallow geothermal systems for efficient heating and cooling.
The event brought together a diverse group of participants and experts, including representatives from national public institutions, the academic community, energy sector professionals, and local stakeholders. The aim was to encourage knowledge exchange and stimulate future investments in sustainable geothermal energy.
The workshop was hosted by the Faculty of Mining, Geology and Petroleum Engineering at the University of Zagreb, one of the key technical partners in the Danube GeoHeCo project. In addition to presenting the key results from the InnoGeoPot and TRANSGEO projects, the event also featured the Danube GeoHeCo project (Fostering the Implementation of shallow Geothermal Hybrid Heating and Cooling Systems in the Danube Region) and the IT Decision Support Tool for design and technology optimisation of shallow geothermal hybrid heating and cooling systems. One of the highlights of the workshop was the presentation of the Transnational Action Plan being developed as part of Danube GeoHeCo project, which aims to support the broader adoption of shallow geothermal energy throughout the entire Danube Region.
MENEA’s participation in this workshop reflects its continued commitment to supporting the innovative and sustainable energy solutions at both the national and international level.
