Summary
At a recent conference on the potential for geothermal energy utilisation in Poland in Poddebice, Icelandic engineering group Verkís presented the results of the geothermal district heating project in the city.
The conference focused on topics related to the potential of geothermal utilization in the town of Poddebice in Poland. Verkís has provided consultation and set forth proposals for the possible expansion of the existing geothermal power plant in Poddebice and Óskar Pétur Einarsson, senior mechanical engineer at Verkí discussed these proposals in one of his presentations at the conference.
The geothermal district heating system in Poddebice went into operation in 2012 and has now been in operation for five years. At present it provides 5,5 MW thermal, which suffices to serve part of the town’s demand for heating and hot water. Plans of an expansion up to 18 MW thermal involve the goal of supplying the heat requirements of all residents of the town, which number close to eight thousand. It is also hoped that the knowledge and experience gained from the project can be used to increase the number of areas in Poland that will utilise geothermal heating systems in the future.
