Geothermal energy, an essential source of energy
The Dutch association, Geothermie Nederland is committed to the availability of sustainable and affordable geothermal heat for citizens and companies in the Netherlands.
Update: Het betrekken van de omgeving wordt steeds belangrijker. Op 21 juni organiseert Geothermie Nederland een ledenbijeenkomst over draagvlak. Lees verder
Geothermal in the Netherlands
At present around 30 doublets are operational in The Netherlands, producing over 6,4 PJ of heat every year.
This number is growing. For an overview see the page ‘Locaties in Nederland’ (in Dutch). More information (in English) can for example be found on nlog.nl.
Geothermal energy
An essential link in the energy transition
About a quarter of the Dutch heat demand can be met by geothermal energy, or geothermal heat. In greenhouse horticulture, geothermal energy can even meet more than half of the demand for sustainable heat. Geothermal energy in the Netherlands is a relatively young sector, with strong growth. More and more market players are joining this. The next few years are crucial for the development of geothermal energy in the Netherlands. Geothermie Nederland and its members play a pivotal role in this acceleration.
Geothermal energy
Geothermal energy is sustainable heat from the subsoil with which you can heat houses, other buildings and greenhouses. Hot water is pumped up from great depths, cooled and returned. Water goes up through one pipe and the same water goes down again through a second pipe. Together, the pipes are called a ‘doublet’. A proven technique for sustainable heating.
The page ‘Geothermie’ (in Dutch) gives more information.
