Summary
Danish geothermal developer Innargi has entered into an agreement with utility company Fors to investigate the potential for geothermal heating in the city of Holbaek in Denmark. Innargi has promised that the geothermal heat can be delivered in conjunction with the expansion of the district heating network in Holbaek towards the end of 2026.
The long-term plan is to convert the entire city from natural gas to district heating – a big task for Holbaek, the biggest gas-heated city in Denmark. With about 30,000 inhabitants, Holbaek is among the most affected by the energy crisis. This is why the Holbaek Municipality and Fors are initiating a large-scale plan to bring district heating to the citizens of Holbaek in different stages. Also equally important is finding the correct composition of energy sources to ensure that there is hot water in the pipes.
The expectation is that Holbaek will be provided with two well pairs which can supply 15-30 MW. The analyses that Fors and Innargi must now begin will determine the best levels for the district heating in Holbaek. Innargi wants to include the project as part of the company’s big project in Aarhus where EU’s biggest geothermal district heating plant is currently being built in collaboration with the Aarhus utility company Kredsløb.
