The Caribbean: A Possible Energetic Transition, But Complex!!

摘要

The Eastern Caribbean is made up of islands which have economical, political, social, cultural and geographical similarities. Among these islands, 11 are volcanic islands, (Saba, St Eustatius, St Kitts, Nevis, Montserrat, Guadeloupe, Dominica, St Lucia, St Vincent and Grenada) and presents great geothermal potential that has been unexploited for many years. However, for these past years, many geothermal projects have increased in the Eastern Caribbean, thanks to the financial support coming from international organizations. Furthermore, the different governments have shown their willingness to turn to cleaner energy, in order to fight against global warming. Despite their interest in renewable energies and particularly geothermal energy, the energy transition remains a slow process.
