Shallow geothermal energy in Denmark - Current status and trends

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Abstract in proceedings

Abstract

Shallow geothermal energy is a renewable energy source with large potential for reducing CO₂ emissions. The application in Denmark, however, is limited compared to e.g. Sweden and Germany. Preliminary estimates indicate that the energy extraction from a 100 m closed loop borehole may be up to 40% lower for an unfavourable geological situation compared to a favourable situation. More know-how and experience under Danish geological conditions is needed and the project GeoEnergy aims at paving the way for a wider use by providing knowledge, tools and best practice.
