After last year's successful congress with around 1200 participants, the Geothermal Congress (DGK) 2025 will take place from November 18 to 20 at the House of Logistics and Mobility (HOLM) in Frankfurt am Main. The German Geothermal Energy Association (BVG) is inviting submissions with the official Call for Papers, marking the start of the hot phase of preparations.
The DGK is the central industry meeting for all those involved in geothermal energy from a scientific, economic or political perspective. With its flexible premises, proven event concepts and ideal location close to Frankfurt Airport, the HOLM offers the perfect setting for the most important specialist congress on geothermal energy in Germany.
Thematic focus:
The range of topics is once again impressive this year. The lectures and presentations will be devoted to the following areas, among others:
Deep and Medium-Depth Geothermal (e.g. exploration, drilling technology, seismology, reservoir management, system integration)
Near-Surface Geothermal (e.g. post-mining use, cold grids, district solutions, operational planning and optimization)
Heat and Cold Storage (e.g. high temperature storage, ATES)
Energy and Research Policy (e.g. municipal heat planning, approval practice, financing and funding programs)
Submissions of a paper and promotion of young scientists:
With the Call for Papers, the German Geothermal Association invites all interested parties to present their current research results at the DGK 2025. Abstracts can be submitted until June 30, 2025. Young scientists are also invited to take part in the Science Bar. The Science Bar poster competition offers the opportunity to present bachelor's, master's or doctoral theses to a specialist audience. The best presentation will be awarded the Young Scientist Prize. The long versions of the papers can be submitted from September - ideally by shortly before the start of the congress. Each contribution will receive a DOI number via Zenodo. Presentations can also be published in the digital conference proceedings.

The German Geothermal Association (BVG) and the LandesEnergieAgentur Hessen (LEA Hessen) announce their cooperation for the Geothermal Congress 2025, which will take place from November 18 to 20, 2025 at the House of Logistics and Mobility (HOLM) in Frankfurt am Main.
On behalf of the Hessian state government, the LEA Hessen assumes central tasks in the implementation of the energy transition and climate protection. As a central point of contact, it bundles initiatives and offers support for citizens, municipalities and companies in Hesse. Its motto is: Activate. Coordinate. Implement. The cooperation with the LEA Hessen enriches the Geothermal Congress 2025 with regional expertise. The cooperation makes it possible to present current projects and developments in geothermal energy in Hesse to a broad specialist audience and to promote the exchange between local players and international experts.
The BVG and the LEA Hessen are looking forward to a successful event that underlines the importance of geothermal energy for the energy transition and provides impetus for future projects in the region and beyond.
The DGK2025 will take place from November 18 to 20 at the HOLM Frankfurt.
The industry meeting with more than 500 participants from Germany and international guests is unique in the German-speaking world.
On two congress days and one workshop day, a wide range of topics from business and research, near-surface, medium and deep geothermal energy will be covered. Thanks to several parallel sessions, a broad spectrum can be covered.
