Abstract
dc.description.abstract
Advances in new technologies and the desire to achieve a sustainable and safe energy
supply, enable communities to transition from conventional to renewable resources,
such as geothermal energy. Perception and acceptance amongst different audiences
have a high impact on the feasibility of energy projects, which is an important aspect
to analyze. For this reason, this study focuses on describing the level of awareness and
acceptance of deep geothermal energy within an educated segment of the population
in five European and American countries (Canada, Colombia, Chile, Belgium, and
France) at different stages of geothermal development. This study was conducted
through an online survey, which was targeted to post-secondary students and
professionals. Some of the most significant conclusions are: (1) there is a high degree
of awareness of geothermal energy among the respondents in Chile and Canada, a
medium level in Belgium and France, and a low one in Colombia; (2) there is a favorable
acceptance of a geothermal project in each country, even when hydraulic stimulation
is considered; (3) environmental aspects and community safety are the most
important issues that must be addressed to support a pilot geothermal project.
