This is the best summary I could come up with:
Since Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Berlin is looking at ways to reduce its dependency on gas supplied by Moscow.
Germany is considering using an out-of-use airport to implement its geothermal plans, as Berlin looks to become more energy-independent – and cleaner.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said last week the country’s goal is to get as much geothermal energy as possible by 2030, focusing on providing heating to buildings.
The war in Ukraine forced Germany to massively decrease its reliance on Russian gas.
One study by the Fraunhofer Institute last year found that geothermal energy could provide more than a quarter of Germany’s heating.
“And that’s why it’s so important that the German government stops investing in fossil fuels and starts pushing really hard and only for 100% renewable energies.”
