Summary
In a release today, a new collaboration has been announced between the municipality of Aarhus, a city in Denmark and A.P. Moller Holding that could essentially change the heating supply in Denmark.
The ambition is to transfer heating from the subsurface to the radiators of 100.000 Aarhus citizens. As such, Denmark’s second-largest city is taking a huge step towards combustion-free district heating.
Energy from the Earth’s core can, in the future, supply Denmark’s second-largest city with green heating. Aarhus Municipality and A.P. Moller Holding have joined forces to clear the way for the largest Danish bet on geothermal district heating to date.
Geothermal studies have shown that the subsurface below Aarhus is well-suited for using geothermal energy for district heating. Geothermal energy is renewable and available all day, all year, also when it is cloudy or windless and other renewable energy sources fail. Aarhus would like to take advantage of this potential as part of developing the district heating of the future, says Bünyamin Simsek, the Alderman responsible for the Department of Technical Services & Environment in Aarhus Municipality.
