Examples of projects with RML team members have developed, coordinated or supported.
GEMINI - Geothermal Energy Momentum in the IslaNd of Ireland
Over 4 years the GEMINI project will help reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions associated with heat production, a goal central to EU, UK and Irish strategies to meet 2050 emissions targets. Heat energy from the Earth will be used to power large-scale heating and cooling systems in public sector buildings: a swimming pool, housing projects, utilities offices and a university campus. The project is being led by Codema, Dublin’s Energy Agency, and is supported by the PEACEPLUS programme managed by the Special EU Programmes Body (SEUPB) with matched funding from the Department of Environment, Climate and Communications, Ireland and the Department for the Economy, Northern Ireland. The project brings together key actors on the island of Ireland to promote cross-border cooperation in the renewable energy sector.
RML team members are responsible for the project communications and engagement with the different stakeholders and the public throughout the project.
Duration: September 2024 to August 2028

Geo Energy Europe Business Metacluster
RML team members coordinated the Geo Energy Europe business metacluster funded by COSME under Horizon 2020. This consortium brings together the European know-how, technologies and experience in geo-energy, with an emphasis on its SMEs’ offer and a focus on deep geothermal energy, with aim to export geothermal knowledge and services.
GEO-ENERGY EUROPE currently represents over 600 members, including 300+ SMEs, from 23 EU countries, and covers the entire deep geothermal value chain.
Duration: September 2020 to November 2022

Futurevolc Project
Members of the RML team supported the development and delivery Futurevolc supersite project (2012-2015, Contract No. 308377) and led elements of the work programme. The project was funded by the European Commission under the FP7 Research and Technology Development programme. Led by the University of Iceland and the Icelandic Meteorological Office, the project included 26 international partners, many of whom carried out field experiments and collected new data in remote areas of Iceland.
