Summary
Work has started on a geothermal district heating and cooling network in Ferney-Voltaire in Ain, France, near the Geneva Airport. Aside from drawing heat from the subsurface, the network will also utilize waste heat from the European Organization for Nuclear Research (Conseil européen pour la Recherche nucléaire / CERN) particle accelerator. The project is targeting commissioning by 2030.
The local public company Terre d’innovation has invested EUR 30 million into the project. The project is also receiving EUR 10 million from the French Environment and Energy Management Agency (ADEME). When completed, the network will provide low-emissions heating and cooling to 195,000 square meters of office space, business facilities, housing, and public infrastructure. It will also generate 4,500 jobs.
