SURVEY REQUEST: Stakeholder Perceptions and Opinions about Geothermal Energy in Industry
EU-funded project with GeoS-TECHIS, Fraunhofer IAO and the IAT University of Stuttgart

As part of the EU-funded project GeoS-TECHISFraunhofer IAO and the IAT University of Stuttgart, are conducting a survey on the acceptance and perception of geothermal energy in industry.
The goal of the survey is to better understand the views, needs, and expectations of key stakeholders and to use these insights to develop policy recommendations, communication strategies, and educational materials that support the transition towards climate-neutral industrial energy systems.
The online survey is anonymous; takes about 15 minutes to complete.
Stakeholder Perceptions and Opinions about Geothermal Energy
The results will be published on our website GeoS-TECHIS Fraunhofer.
