Summary
The geothermal heating capacity of the city of Szeged in Hungary has been further expanded with the completion of a new geothermal heating system in the Sziler district. The project displaces more than 2.2 million cubic meters of natural gas, reducing the greenhouse gas load of Szeged by 4,482 tons of CO2 annually.
The completion of the project was announced by the Hungarian Ministry of Construction and Transport.
The project required a budget of HUF 2.354 billion (approx. EUR 6 million). The EU supported this with a HUF 1.108 billion non-refundable grant that was awarded to project investor Geo Höterm Kft. The geothermal system entailed the drilling of 2000-meter production well and two slightly shallower injection wells. Water from the production well passed through a heat exchanger, with the secondary fluid going to the Felsovaros I heating plant. The new heating system can also serve other heating districts though existing transmission lines.
