This project aims at facilitating the start of hydrothermal geothermal projects in Switzerland. In collaboration with various stakeholders such as national and cantonal authorities, project promoters, planners, etc., obstacles and difficulties with regard to hydrothermal geothermal projects are identified. Based on this, solution-oriented approaches are developed with suggestions for improving procedural aspects and networking, for example in the form of a guide. The final product will offer practical help to geothermal energy actors for developing new hydrothermal geothermal projects.
