In 2021, the residents in Vridsløsemagle, a small Danish village west of Copenhagen, got an offer to be supplied with district heating. It would be based on local extraction and distribution of shallow geothermal energy using a new-built thermonet. The residents until then mainly relied on oil boilers and wood stoves. The solution would be…
It is now possible to build roads that act as energy sources for a thermonet, delivering heating and cooling to the houses along the road. At the same time, the road structure functions as a subterranean stormwater reservoir, protecting against flooding from extreme rainfall.
Denmark’s largest thermonet to date was commissioned in late 2024 in the residential development of Hyllegaard Høje near Hvalsø on Zealand. It is designed to supply heating to 200 homes.
