BMW Brilliance Unveils Groundbreaking Geothermal Heating Project to Power Its Zero-Carbon Industrial Future in Shenyang
BMW Brilliance Taps Geothermal Energy to Power a Zero-Carbon Future in Shenyang By: Robert Buluma In a groundbreaking stride toward industrial decarbonization, BMW Brilliance Automotive has officially launched a geothermal heating project at its powertrain plant and sixth-generation high-voltage battery center in Shenyang, Liaoning Province . This marks a major milestone in the global push toward clean, non-fossil energy within large-scale manufacturing. The project, unveiled on October 31 , represents a shift from conventional fossil-based heating systems to a 100% non-fossil geothermal supply — one that not only reduces carbon emissions but also serves as a scalable model for clean industrial heating across northern China. According to project details, the installation comprises 28 medium-deep geothermal wells covering approximately 580,000 square meters of heating area. Once fully operational, the system is expected to cut carbon emissions by 18,000 ton...
