* Business Development Manager of the Icelandic company Verkís Volodymyr Pryvizhentsev.
During the meeting, the possibilities of using the existing geothermal potential of the territorial community, potential areas of inter-sectoral cooperation and technical aspects of implementing the relevant project were discussed.
According to the director of the State Enterprise "Zakhidukrheologiya" Mykhailo Lyshak, the city of Berehove has all the prerequisites to become an example of the effective use of geothermal resources. "Together with partners, we are moving towards the practical implementation of this ambitious project. We see the significant potential of geothermal resources in Transcarpathia and are ready to support communities in the transition to sustainable solutions," he noted.
The project aims to increase energy efficiency, reduce dependence on traditional heat sources, as well as enhance environmental safety and compliance with sustainable development goals.
NJSC "Nadra Ukrainy" together with its subsidiary "Zakhidukrheologiya" and international partners, including Baker Hughes, is actively working on the development of the geothermal direction in Ukraine. The implementation of this pilot project in Beregov will be an important milestone in the introduction of "green" energy in the regions and an example of how innovative approaches can benefit communities, ensuring their energy independence and sustainability.
