Innargi and Norfors agree to study the potential for geothermal energy in Hørsholm, Denmark
Press release • February 29, 2024
Norfors has entered into a framework agreement (Letter of Intent) with the energy company Innargi A/S to investigate the potential of geothermal energy as a new renewable and reliable source of district heating. The agreement marks a decisive step towards reducing CO2 emissions and strengthening energy supply in the area.
“The heat from the Earth’s core is there all the time, and it would be fantastic if we here in the municipality could utilise the renewable energy source that lies at our feet. The study of the geothermal potential in our area is an important step towards achieving our goal of supplying even more sustainable and safe district heating to our customers in Allerød, Fredensborg, Hørsholm and Rudersdal.”
“I am very pleased on behalf of our heating customers that Norfors does not run any financial risk with this framework agreement. We look forward to exploring the possibilities of geothermal energy and how geothermal can be integrated into our district heating system. This collaboration marks our commitment to seeking innovative solutions that can ensure a sustainable energy future for our customers.”
“There is hot water deep underground, but how much, how deep and exactly where, we now need to find out. But together with skilled people in Norfors, we also need to clarify where and how the energy fits into the district heating supply.”
Facts about Geothermal
- Renewable and clean energy source: Geothermal energy is extracted from the heat of the Earth’s interior, making it a renewable and inexhaustible energy source. It emits no CO2 and other pollutants, helping to reduce pollution and the effects of climate change.
- Stable and reliable energy supply: Geothermal energy is not affected by weather or climate conditions, making it a stable and secure source of energy production. It can be available 24/7, all year round, reducing the risk of energy shortages or supply interruptions.
- Flexibility and scalability: Geothermal systems can be customised to different needs and scaled up or down depending on energy demand. This makes them suitable for both large and small energy projects, as well as businesses and residential areas. As the system is extremely quiet in operation, geothermal energy is a great neighbour in densely populated areas.
