AARHUS: The first of several geothermal plants in Aarhus is now open and supplies district heating with 70 degrees hot water drawn from 2.5 km. depth. With the opening, the foundation stone has been laid for CO2-neutral district heating in Denmark, informs Dansk Fjernvarme.
- Geothermal energy on this scale in Denmark can be the starting point for a major industrial and export product to the EU, which will transition from fossil energy to stable and sustainable energy. Here we have competencies that can supply not only to Danish district heating but also to our European neighboring countries, says Kim Mortensen, director of Dansk Fjernvarme.
In Aarhus, geothermal energy is expected to reduce annual CO2 emissions by approximately 165,000 tons, and it will, among other things, be included in an energy mix with air-to-water heat pumps, seawater heat pumps and waste incineration. When the entire geothermal plant in Aarhus is completed before 2030, it will be the largest in the EU. As previously mentioned, there are also plans for geothermal plants in Lyngby-Taarbæk Municipality, and several other places in the country are investigating possibilities for exploitation.
