Description
Ensuring sustainable exploitation of the geothermal water field is planned to be developed. As the utilization of low- to medium temperature geothermal resources is practically emission free, the replacement of fossil fuels by geothermal energy will lead to decreased greenhouse gas emissions and can also lead to better air quality.
By using heat pumps and re- inject the used water back into the reservoir, the sustainability of the resource will be ensured, and the energy stored in the geothermal water will be efficiently exploited. At the same time, in order to provide the entire energy needed for the neighboring buildings in the peak period, the energy input from the District Heating System (DHS) network of the city will be used as well.
The main objective of the project is to increase the capacity for the supply of renewable energy, having as its source geothermal energy. The main activities of the project include:
- Equipment supply
- Construction works for the building
- Technical assistance
- Installation of thermal networks.
- Design services.
Expected outcomes include an estimated annual decrease of CO2 emissions by 6.188 tonnes and annual energy production of 24.683,54 MWh. The project is estimated to generate 5 new jobs.
The project is implemented in partnership with the Icelandic company Mannvit hf. Mannvit hf is an international consultancy firm in the fields of engineering, technical services and innovation. They will have an important contribution to the project by transferring know-how in the specific field of geothermal energy use. They will evaluate test results, check and evaluate data received and analyze the capacity and condition of the data received. They will also review the system design concept and provide technical consultancy.
