Recently, the German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung published a press article about CO2 emissions of geothermal power plants. Some of the information in the article relates to a publication about the Kirchstockach geothermal power plant near Munich, in which members of our working group were involved; further, our co-authors are interviewed in the press article as experts on the subject. We appreciate the attention to our socially significant research which we will continue to pursue in future!
