About the project

Based in Chania, the Institute of GeoEnergy (IG) is oriented to basic and applied research on energy production and energy transition, especially regarding the fields of green energy, environment, and conventional fuels’ carbon footprint reduction. Established by Law 4589/2019 (A’ 13) as Institute of Petroleum Research (FORTH/IPR), as one of the newest research structures of Foundation of Research and Technology – Hellas (FORTH), which according to the article 76 of Law 4864/2021 was renamed to Institute of GeoEnergy.

Among the basic principles of the Institute are the excellence, the evolution, the possibility of developing innovative tools and products, the control of the scientific and documented correctness of its views, the quality and stability in energy supply, the environmental protection and responsibility, the continuous effort to improve the conditions of human life in society, in the most sustainable way. Its main scientific focus follows 3 directions:

  • Fossil Fuels and Carbon Management

Oriented to the research, study and development of methods and techniques for exploring geological structures suitable for the generation and production of fossil organogenic energy resources, the development of innovative methods for their production and transport, the production of conventional fuels with minimal carbon footprint and the development of technologies for carbon dioxide capture and storage.

  • Environment and Circular Economy

Oriented to studying and developing innovative methods and techniques addressing the environmental impact of the energy resources’ exploitation. It also aims at the development of materials and energy reuse technologies and the elaboration of environmental impact studies and energy exploits risk assessment.

  • Green Energy

Oriented to the development of innovative technologies related to the reduction of the carbon footprint of the energy mixture using hydrogen, geothermal energy, green fuels (biogas, methanol, ethanol, ammonia) and the optimization of the energy systems structure and operation.

The strategic goal of FORTH/IG is to become a reference point for the Eastern Mediterranean region, in the field of Sustainable Development and Exploitation of Energy Resources.

The Panhellenic Federation of Dry Cleaners, Carpet Cleaners, Laundries, Ironers, Dyeers and related professions, is a secondary grade trade union founded in 1977 aiming at the cultivation and dissemination of the union spirit and solving the various problems of the sectors represented.

The Federation is a key actor for the social dialogues with the State and with any legal entity under public or private law, whose aims and activities are related to the general interests of the industries,. In addition it promotes and strengthens any initiative for improving the commercial activity.

Members of the Federation are the legally operating professional associations that have as their members natural persons, who carry out legal professional activity, ie dry cleaners, carpet cleaners, ironers, laundries, painters and any other related profession in a prefecture geographical level. In special cases, members and associations can become members if they exercise their activity and have members from three (3) different neighboring prefectures.
