Geothermal in Aarhus

Innargi is in collaboration with district heating company Kredsløb on bringing geothermal district heating to the the second largest city in Denmark, Aarhus. The geothermal heating plant will be the biggest of its kind in the EU once completed in 2030. In total the plant will consist of seven facilities in seven different locations around Aarhus.

Kredsløb and Innargi has entered a 30 year agreement on the development and operation of the heating plant. The project kicked off in November 2023 with drilling the first of 17 wells, expected to deliver the first heat in 2025.

Latest Milestone

Drilling has started!

“Today is a significant day for Aarhus and Denmark’s green transition as we move from planning to action, initiating drilling to provide Aarhus’s first geothermal district heating by 2025. When the facility is completed, it will be a key element in securing the stable and green supply of the future and a significant contribution to the city achieving its climate goals in 2030.”
