Greater Copenhagen, Denmark

Geothermal in Greater Copenhagen

Innargi is collaborating with Denmark’s largest waste management and energy company, Vestforbrænding, to establish a geothermal heating plant which are to supply 10.000 households with greener district heating north of Copenhagen by the end of 2028.

Vestforbrænding is servicing approximately 1 million citizens. The company is currently expanding their district heating network to convert 39.000 new customers from gas- and oil boilers to district heating and geothermal will become one of their future heat sources in combination with surplus heat and CO2.

IN BRIEF

Capacity and demand

The planned capacity of the geothermal heating plants is 26 MW which convert to the supply of approximately 10.000 households every year.

The planned geothermal plant will expand Vestforbrænding’s total heat capacity for district heating by 12,5% covering a total of 69.000 households.

Project Timeline

If everything goes to plan, the geothermal facilities are to be completed in 2028 with an expected operation of at least 30 years.

LATEST MILESTONE

Vestforbrænding and Innargi are bringing geothermal energy to Greater Copenhagen

Vestforbrænding and Innargi signed a contract to explore and implement geothermal heating solutions to Vestforbrænding’s district heating system. Seismic surveys of the subsurface are currently being conducted, which will help to find the most suitable locations. Following this, the possible location will be reviewed and approved by the municipality.
