More specifically, the goal for the joint investigation is to evaluate the possibility of geothermal district heating for the communities of Allerød, Fredensborg, Hørsholm, and Rudersdal.
As with the other geothermal district heating projects that Innargi is undertaking, the business model guarantees that Innargi will take 100% of the risk and cost of the initial exploration phase, and that no funding will be required from Norfors until heat is flowing.
“I am very pleased on behalf of our heating customers that Norfors does not run any financial risk with this framework agreement. This collaboration marks our commitment to seeking innovative solutions that can ensure a sustainable energy future for our customers,” said Jette Miller, CEO of Norfors.
“There is hot water deep underground, but how much, how deep and exactly where, we now need to find out. But together with skilled people in Norfors, we also need to clarify where and how the energy fits into the district heating supply,” added Samir Abboud, CEO of Innargi.
In November 2023, Innargi officially commenced drilling in Aarhus, Denmark for what is planned to be the biggest geothermal district heating project in Europe. The drilling of the first well in the harbour has since been completed with satisfactory results. The drilling rig has moved to the second location in Skejbyvej.
