Summary
New district heating piping is to deliver geothermal heat from the location of the wells in Vaterstetten in the southwest of Munich to Ebersberg and also to supply three other municipalities on the way, according to reporting by local news outlet Merkur.
So far this is only a plan and still is though unclear for this intermunicipal geothermal project. There is so far neither reliable information about costs nor about the set location of the district heating pipeline.
The general idea is that the five neighbouring municipalities and other interested municipalities, such as the neighboring Grasbrunn in the Munich district, share the costs. This would reduce the burden and the risk for the individual municipalities. In addition, District Administrator Niedergesäß is hoping for funding from the Bavarian “Geothermal Master Plan”, which Minister of Economic Affairs Hubert Aiwanger (FW) announced last year at the Geothermie.Bayern practice forum.
In Vaterstetten there is already a good basis with data available due to a previous project planning. In the subsurface, in the water-bearing layer of the Upper Jurassic, deep water with a temperature of 95 to 99 degrees Celsius is suspected. This would be ideal for district heating and according to the experts, the heat loss on the long line is negligible, as reported.
