Roadmap for 2030 and 2050

this deliverable is the output of Task 6.3, in which two roadmaps will be created, a practical and goal-oriented one (2030), and a technology vision oriented one (2050). The roadmapping process will be similar, where the main difference is that the 2030 roadmap is aimed at providing a timeline and direct support to the implementation of the first CHPM pilots (building on the outcomes of Task 6.2), whilst the 2050 roadmap is aiming at supporting breakthrough research for the further development of the CHPM technology line (building on the outcomes of Task 6.1). Both roadmaps will contain major “signposts” that should be observed and considered in regular time intervals for safeguarding the implementation of the roadmap (2030) and for providing revisions and updates in response to unforeseen, emerging phenomena (2050). Task 6.3 will be implemented with the help of a Roadmapping workshop (20 participants), that will also utilise results of the Delphi survey launched under Task 6.1. Since the development of a common vision is foreseen for both timelines, the roadmapping process will include a Back-casting exercise (i.e. building up a “desired” future technology scenario, in which the proposed alliance between geothermal and mining technologies contribute to Europe’s self sufficiency in both energy and minerals) identifying the concrete needs in the present to arrive to this desired future will be examined.
