SERV and MINA council miss political vision when stimulating geothermal energy and the support for green heating

SERV and MINA are pleased that the Flemish government wants to stimulate geothermal energy as sustainable energy source as well as to ameliorate  the existing support scheme for green heat. They miss however the broader context and the policy vision. A former advice dating back to  2011 in which both councils jointly urged for such a vision and formulated concrete suggestions should be kept in mind.. Furthermore social partners are demanding clarification about the modalities of the support schemes for deep geothermal energy and the call system for green heat, biomethane injections and residual heat.
