Project InnerSpace Launches GeoMap™ Europe

On November 19, 2025, Project InnerSpace announced the introduction of GeoMap™ Europe, a revolutionary platform designed for mapping and exploring the vast geothermal energy potential across the continent. This innovative platform brings together years of underground data to reveal the capabilities of geothermal energy—an abundant and sustainable energy resource that can be harnessed to support both heating and electricity generation needs.

Geothermal energy, which originates from the Earth's crust, is a widely available and reliable energy source. Advancements in drilling and subsurface technologies are now making geothermal power accessible in regions once considered off-limits. Europe stands out as a leader in the development and implementation of geothermal technology, boasting one of the longest histories of geothermal operations in the world coupled with favorable political and technological conditions.

Key Features of GeoMap™ Europe:
GeoMap Europe consolidates millions of thermal, geological, and structural data points, creating a comprehensive and publicly accessible visualization of underground heat across various regions. It not only illustrates where geothermal energy can sustainably supply cities with electricity but also showcases how it can cool digital infrastructures and enable underground renewable energy storage.

Notable highlights of GeoMap Europe include:

• - High Temperature Resources: These resources cater to power generation in areas such as Iceland, the Tuscany region, and the Monte Amiata in Italy, as well as in Greece's volcanic arc, Western Turkey, and throughout Hungary and France. This aims to meet the increasing demand for stable renewable electricity across Europe.
• - Significant District Heating Potential: Major cities like Paris, Munich, Vienna, and Budapest can expand their existing geothermal heating systems or establish new ones, substantially improving the provision of heating for both businesses and households.
• - Industrial Clusters: In key areas like Northern Italy and Northern France, geothermal energy can supply direct process heat, hybrid heat pumps, and steam for various industries including food and beverage, paper, and chemical, enabling rapid decarbonization through geothermal heating networks.
• - Cooling for Data Centers: The platform indicates opportunities for geothermal-powered cooling solutions and waste heat recovery in regions such as the Upper Rhine Graben in Germany and the Paris Basin in Northern France. This includes underground energy storage capabilities that can balance between wind and solar energy supplies using thick sediment basins across Northern Germany and Denmark.

Jamie Beard, Executive Director of Project InnerSpace, remarked, "Geothermal energy is the sleeping giant of clean energy that the world has consistently overlooked while pondering the future of energy. By swiftly turning the next page of geothermal development, Europe stands to gain energy independence and advance decarbonization hand in hand. GeoMap Europe provides the tools developers, researchers, and governments need to visualize where to begin.”

GeoMap Europe builds upon previous regional releases in Africa, Asia, North America, India, the Middle East, Oceania, and South America, furthering Project InnerSpace's mission to democratize geothermal opportunities. This launch represents a significant milestone in the initiative's first phase, resulting in a free, state-of-the-art map of geothermal resources available for every region of the world.
