Innargi Aarus Geothermal Plant Will be Magnanimous in EU

Unlocking the Green Potential: Geothermal Project in Aarhus Enters Second Test Phase



In a landmark move towards decarbonizing heating systems, Aarhus, Denmark, is spearheading the way forward with its ambitious geothermal project. Initiated by Innargi A/S in collaboration with Kredsløb, the project aims to revolutionize district heating by harnessing the power of geothermal energy.

The recent announcement of the project entering its second test phase marks a significant milestone in Aarhus's journey towards sustainability. The initial test drilling at the Port of Aarhus has been successfully concluded, paving the way for further exploration at Skejbyvej. This phase includes additional wells and a plant designed to capture geothermal heat and transfer it to the district heating network, setting the stage for a greener future.

Lars Heineke, Project Director at Innargi, expressed satisfaction with the progress, emphasizing the importance of the testing phase in shaping the final design. With plans to supply 20% of district heating to Aarhus residents by 2030, the project holds immense promise for reducing carbon emissions and promoting renewable energy usage.

Nicolaj Bang, Alderman of Technology and Environment in Aarhus Municipality, echoed this sentiment, highlighting the potential impact of geothermal heat on the city. The positive reception from the community underscores Aarhus's commitment to sustainability, as evidenced by the constructive dialogue and support from neighbors.

The geothermal heating plant in Aarhus, touted as the largest in the EU, is poised to make a significant contribution to reducing CO2 emissions and advancing the green agenda. With an expected reduction of approximately 165,000 tons of CO2 annually, the project exemplifies Denmark's commitment to combating climate change and embracing renewable energy solutions.


Kredsløb, with its extensive experience in district heating and waste recycling, and Innargi, backed by a team of experts and strategic partnerships, are driving the project forward with a shared vision of a cleaner, more sustainable future. The 30-year agreement between the two entities underscores their long-term commitment to realizing this vision and delivering tangible benefits to the community.

As the project progresses, stakeholders and residents alike can look forward to witnessing the transformative impact of geothermal energy on Aarhus's heating infrastructure. With each milestone achieved, the city moves closer to unlocking the full potential of geothermal energy and paving the way for a greener, more sustainable future for generations to come,
