Munich Re Green Tech Solutions has long been a pioneer in performance warranty insurance for renewable energy technologies. The Emerging Green Technologies team provides bespoke risk transfer solutions for e mobility, hydrogen, and other sustainable technologies, including geothermal energy.

In the field of geothermal energy, exploration risk represents a key challenge to the successful financing of projects in Germany and other regions. Our work focuses on addressing these risks through innovative insurance solutions that support project development and bankability.

Emerging Green Tech Solutions is part of the New & Green Tech / Internet of Things (IoT) department, operating in an international setup with colleagues based in Munich, India, China, and across the United States. 
We are growing our team and are looking for a geothermal energy expert to join our highly successful team.
