Project: Aarhus, Denmark

project • Geothermal

Innargi has entered a 30-year agreement to develop and operate EU’s largest geothermal heating plant in Aarhus, Denmark. By providing circular, constant baseload energy for district heating, Innargi offers a green and sustainable alternative to biomass, coal and gas.

In brief

  • The planned collected capacity of the geothermal heating plants in Aarhus is 110MW, equalling 20% of Aarhus’ district heating demand.
  • If everything goes to plan, the several geothermal plants are to be completed in 2029 with an expected operation of at least 30 years.
  • The annual CO2 emissions are expected to be reduced by up to 165,000 tonnes.

“I am proud to make heating greener for the citizens of Aarhus. Geothermal energy marks a significant step in our endeavours to turn an increasing amount of energy into sustainable district heating. Geothermal energy is a precondition for reaching our goal in 2030 of phasing out imported wood pellets.”
