  4. DIRECTIVE 2009/28/EC on the promotion of the use of energyfrom renewable sources (RES ) April 2009 • Article 2: "energy from renewable sources" means energy from renewable non-fossil sources: wind, solar, geothermal, aerothermal, hydrothermal and ocean energy, hydropower, biomass, landfill gas, sewage treatment plant gas and biogases; “geothermal energy” means energy stored in form of heat beneath the surface of solid earth; • Art. 14 (3) Member States shall ensurethat certification schemes or equivalent qualification schemes become or are available by 31 December 2012 for installers of … shallowgeothermalsystemsand heatpumps.

  5. GEOTRAINET achieved results • Curricula for Designers and Drillers • Training Materials & E-learning platform • 12 Direct courses in 8 countries • Geological data needed for the design of GSHP installations • EuropeaneducationCommittee • Proposal for a Certification frame

  6. GEOTRAINET Programfrom September 2011 OBJECTIVES FOR THE FUTURE • Geotrainet training in all EU countries • Establish a European Education Committee and National Committees • Support National bodies involved in training and certification • Develop and implement a European accreditation/certification structure Next meeting on 14/02/2012 in Brussels (REH)
