Drilling has began for the primary geothermal analysis effectively in Gniezno, Poland with funding from the nationwide grant program.
Drilling work has began since November 2023 for the primary geothermal analysis effectively GT-1 in ul. Gdanska in Gniezno, Poland. The analysis effectively will serve to validate the temperature and productiveness of the inferred geothermal reservoir and can inform future plans for the undertaking.
The Gniezno Municipal Workplace said that the goal depth of the GT-1 effectively is roughly 2100 meters depth, the place an aquifer with fluids at 75 °C is predicted. This useful resource will then be ample for heating. If larger temperatures are encountered, then leisure purposes can be thought of. Ought to the GT-1 effectively be evaluated as appropriate for warmth provide, a choice can be made to drill a second effectively for reinjection.
In 2021, Gniezno was one of many few territories chosen by the Nationwide Fund for Environmental Safety and Water Administration for funding beneath the “Offering entry to thermal waters in Poland” program. The town obtained virtually PLN 17 million (ca. USD 4.4 million) which can be sufficient to cowl the exploratory drilling stage.
The thermal waters grant program of Poland has considerably accelerated the event of a number of geothermal tasks. Very just lately, the city of Zyrardow kicked off the drilling of a 3-km geothermal effectively. Related efforts are being undertaken in in Krakow, Sochachzew, and Otwock, following the announcement of a second spherical of grants beneath the thermal waters program.
