Description

The aim of the project is to offer a vision of long-term sustainable development of the Municipality of Topusko based on the use of renewable geothermal water and related energy and reducing CO2 emissions, as well as increased security of supply, all in line with the latest achievements in energy and automation and spatial planning of local community development. The use of geothermal water is extremely important for this area because, in addition to enabling health and recreational tourism, it also allows the use of geothermal water as an energy source for the heating system in the municipality. The project proposal plans to prepare documentation for the reconstruction of wells and increase the use of geothermal energy in the heating system in the municipality of Topusko. The current geothermal system in the municipality of Topusko consists of four geothermal wells, distribution pipelines and a central heating station. Geothermal wells need remediation due to the frequent occurrence of pipeline bursts and the introduction of regulation and automation for more rational management of this extremely valuable renewable energy source. Also, it is planned to increase the connected facilities to the geothermal hot water network, which requires the expansion of the network and the construction of new routes that will heat the newly connected facilities using system water heated by geothermal water. By connecting the facilities to the new geothermal hot water network, users will be heated by a renewable energy source from geothermal water, thus using the full potential of geothermal water in the Topusko area.
