Abstract
Geothermal energy currently represents a very low percentage of the national energy mix in Belgium and is dominated by exploitation of low temperature resources. A number of initiatives to stimulate a sustainable future development of the shallow geothermal energy sector in Belgium are being implemented. Nevertheless the deep geothermal potential is recognise in the Campine and the Mons basin (Hoes et al. 2012, Loveless et al. 2015, Licour 2012). In order to explore this potential, a new deep geothermal project was launched in September 2015 in Mol (northern Belgium).
