The law will cover the spectrum of geothermal projects from power plants to heat pump systems and heat storage systems.<\/p>\n<p>The current approval process often takes several years and is encumbered by high bureaucratic requirements. The Minister proposes to simplify this process with the introduction of maximum deadlines for approval procedures under the mining law. The proposal also seeks to extend the time intervals for operating plans, shorten the appeals chain, and eliminate the suspensive effect of legal remedies.<\/p>\n<p>Near-surface geothermal energy projects can also benefit with a proposed exclusion from the scope of the mining law. The proposal also seeks to exclude small groundwater heat pumps and geothermal collectors from the requirements under the water law.<\/p>\n<p>The draft law states that geothermal can supply around a quarter of the heat requirement in Germany. The ministry aims to establish geothermal as the third pillar of climate-friendly energy generation and provide a platform that facilitates its faster growth. <em>\u201cAs with wind turbines and PV systems, systems for the extraction of geothermal energy, heat pumps and heat storage systems are therefore also given an overriding public interest,\u201d<\/em> the paper states.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zeit.de\/wirtschaft\/unternehmen\/2024-06\/bundeswirtschaftsministerium-gesetzentwurf-erdwaerme-ausbau-geothermie\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Zeit Online<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/regionalheute.de\/habeck-legt-massnahmen-zur-beschleunigung-des-erdwaerme-ausbaus-vor-1719504010\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Regional Heute<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.investmentweek.com\/habeck-treibt-geothermie-ausbau-in-deutschland-voran\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Investment Week<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thinkgeoenergy.com\/new-proposal-in-germany-seeks-to-simplify-approval-for-geothermal-projects\/\">New proposal in Germany seeks to simplify approval for geothermal projects<\/a> first appeared on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thinkgeoenergy.com\/\">ThinkGeoEnergy &#8211; Geothermal Energy News<\/a>.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div>\n<p>A new draft law in Germany proposes to simplify the approval procedures for deep geothermal projects, geothermal heat pump systems, and heat storage projects.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thinkgeoenergy.com\/new-proposal-in-germany-seeks-to-simplify-approval-for-geothermal-projects\/\">New proposal in Germany seeks to simplify approval for geothermal projects<\/a> first appeared on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thinkgeoenergy.com\/\">ThinkGeoEnergy &#8211; Geothermal Energy News<\/a>.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[1845,4467,168,14670,14669,13088,880,2380,3854,457,15347,7490],"class_list":["post-19510","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-approval","tag-energy","tag-for","tag-geo","tag-geothermal","tag-germany","tag-new","tag-projects","tag-proposal","tag-seeks","tag-simplify","tag-think"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>New proposal in Germany seeks to simplify approval for geothermal projects - Energy Buzz<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/energybuzz.ph\/new-proposal-in-germany-seeks-to-simplify-approval-for-geothermal-projects\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"New proposal in Germany seeks to simplify approval for geothermal projects - Energy Buzz\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"A new draft law in Germany proposes to simplify the approval procedures for deep geothermal projects, geothermal heat pump systems, and heat storage projects.
