Significant Progress in Project Implementation
Concluded Contract for Geothermal Potential Study
a contract has been signed for Geothermal Potential Study as part of the commitment to renewable energy development. This study plays a crucial role in identifying the potential of geothermal waters and will serve as a foundation for future energy projects.
Concluded Contract for Project Promotion and Visibility
To ensure community and stakeholder support alongside research activities, a contract has been secured for project promotion and visibility. This step aims to inform the public about the importance of geothermal energy and the benefits it can provide to the community.
Conducted Study Trip to Iceland
A team of experts recently visited Iceland to better understand their successful utilization of geothermal energy. This study trip provided valuable insights and experiences that will be beneficial in the project's further development.
Decision Made for Issuing Permit for Geothermal Water Exploration
A crucial step toward realizing the geothermal potential of Vukovar 2 was the decision to issue a permit for the exploration of geothermal waters in the research area. This permit enables detailed studies to precisely identify resources available for further development.
Preparation of Procurement Procedure for Conceptual Oil and Mining Project
As the procurement procedure is being prepared for the creation of the conceptual oil and mining project, the project team is focused on developing the drilling and testing project for the Vukovar GT-1 exploration well. This phase is expected to be key in achieving optimal results.
Preparation of Environmental Impact Assessment Contract
Considering the importance of environmental preservation, contracting is underway for the preparation of the Environmental Impact Assessment for the "Vukovar GT-1 Geothermal Water Exploration Well (VuGT-1) with a workspace for drilling plant accommodation." This document will be crucial in ensuring project sustainability and minimizing potential environmental impacts.
All these steps demonstrate a commitment to the development of geothermal energy in Vukovar, and it is anticipated that this project will bring numerous benefits to the community, including economic, ecological, and energy-related advantages.
The project's total value is €259,470.62, of which non-refundable amount of funds is €217,330.02 (83.76%).
