Geothermal energy in the Lower Rhine: heating with the strength from the depths!

Geothermal energy in the Lower Rhine: heating with the strength from the depths!

geothermal energy, the use of the heat stored in the earth's crust, is the focus of the latest developments in the district of Kleve. Comprehensive seismic examinations took place here in autumn/winter 2023 to determine whether water -bearing layers for deep geothermal energy can be broken down. These measures are part of the Master Plan of the State Government of North Rhine-Westphalia, which is planning to cover around 20 % of the heat requirement in North Rhine-Westphalia by geothermal energy.

In addition, a free portal of IT.NRW was launched, which offers precise location checks for geothermal potential. Interested parties can view important information about water protection areas and necessary permits. In view of the increasing demand for renewable energies, Geothermal energy could play a key role in the sustainable energy supply in the region.
