Seismic survey in Nordsjælland, Copenhagen, Denmark (supply: Innargi)
Vestforbrænding and Innargi have partnered to determine a 26-MW geothermal district heating mission in Higher Copenhagen, Denmark.
Vestforbrænding and Innargi have entered an settlement to determine geothermal power for district heating in Higher Copenhagen, Denmark. The plan is to determine a 26-MW geothermal heating facility similar to the heating demand of 10,000 households.
The brand new settlement follows up on a earlier engagement between the 2 corporations to judge the feasibility of geothermal heating in Copenhagen.
The exact location for the ability has not been selected but, however the plan is for it to be situated within the Lyngby-Taarbæk municipality. Seismic surveys to find out probably the most appropriate places for drilling are at present ongoing. Drilling is predicted to start out by 2026 with the goal to start out warmth supply by 2028.
Transitioning from oil and fuel to geothermal
The settlement is part of Denmark’s largest civil building mission inside district heating, the place 39,000 new heating clients change from oil and fuel sourced heating to district heating. On the similar time, the settlement brings geothermal power to the Higher Copenhagen space for the primary time, the place the potential to make use of geothermal power for district heating is especially good.
Vestforbrænding is properly beneath approach with an in depth plan for 39,000 district heating clients in Ballerup, Herlev, Gladsaxe, Lyngby-Taarbæk, Furesø, Frederikssund and Egedal – all municipalities in Higher Copenhagen – to alter from oil and fuel sourced heating to district heating. The plan will practically double Vestforbrænding’s heating provide and can make the community one of many largest in Denmark.
Geothermal power is without doubt one of the new warmth sources that Vestforbrænding is incorporating into the way forward for district heating, and it’ll enhance heating provide safety. Different new warmth sources are e.g. waste warmth from corporations and carbon seize.
“We are going to want way more district heating sooner or later, and for district heating to return from a number of totally different sources. This can present a sturdy provide and can safe steady and low costs for finish customers,” stated Steen Neuchs Vedel, CEO of Vestforbrænding.
“Geothermal power suits in completely. When clients change from their particular person warmth supply to district heating, they can even keep away from the worth dependency on a single power supply, no matter whether or not it’s oil, fuel or electrical energy.”
Unlocking future tasks
For Innargi, the settlement means the beginning of geothermal power manufacturing from the geological reservoir that lies beneath most of Higher Copenhagen.
“The geological circumstances to determine geothermal power within the Higher Copenhagen space for district heating are actually good. So the mission is hopefully simply the primary of a number of with Vestforbrænding, which can roll out way more district heating. On the similar time, we make the chances for the opposite district heating corporations in Higher Copenhagen tangible, that are additionally increasing their community and contemplating options to biomass,” stated Samir Abboud, Managing Director of Innargi.
