en.Wedoany.com Reported - The French Geothermal Energy Association (AFPG) and the Association for Energy and Environmental Technologies (ATEE) have recently jointly established a working group focused on promoting industrial geothermal applications. This working group is led by the ATEE's Energy Efficiency division and receives technical expertise support from the AFPG, aiming to strengthen cooperation and innovation in the field of industrial geothermal energy.

The core objectives of the working group include facilitating information exchange among stakeholders in industrial geothermal energy, promoting the integration of geothermal technology into industrial processes, enhancing the skill levels of technical stakeholders, and exploring technical and organizational mechanisms to increase corporate consideration of geothermal energy within their energy strategies. The working group is scheduled to officially launch on April 16, 2026. After completing preparatory work in the first half of the year, it will formulate a 2026 roadmap, expected to be finalized before the end of summer. The focus will be on communication actions, providing technical and economic feedback, developing standardized energy-saving certificate operational sheets for the industrial sector, and supporting specific operations.

This initiative aims to create a technical dialogue and cooperation platform for decarbonizing industrial activities through industrial geothermal applications. France has accumulated rich experience in geothermal heating, with widespread application of geothermal space heating in the Île-de-France region. In the industrial sector, geothermal energy has been applied in greenhouses and fish farming facilities. Recently, drilling operations have also commenced to provide geothermal energy for Safran Group's aircraft propulsion systems manufacturing project in Seine-et-Marne.
