Bremen-Nord: Climate-friendly district heating network will start in 2025!
Find out how Bremen-Blumenthal supplies large customers such as hospitals with a climate-neutral district heating network.
Bremen-Nord: Climate-friendly district heating network will start in 2025!
When it comes to the future of heat supply in Bremen, the implementation of a new district heating network in Bremen-Nord is at the top of the agenda. Loud Bremen Senate Press Office The first customers are expected to be integrated into the climate-neutral network this year. The company enercity Contracting Nord GmbH has taken over responsibility for the heat supply in Bremen-Blumenthal.
Environment Senator Kathrin Moosdorf recently found out about the progress of the construction work, which has been in full swing since the contract for the right of way was signed less than a year ago. Initially, not only major customers such as the North Health Hospital, but also the initial reception center for refugees on Lindenstrasse will be connected to the new network.
A sustainable project
“A good hand” in implementation is also evident in the construction of the approximately 2.4 kilometer long district heating pipeline, which has already been laid. During the work, the construction workers discovered old pipes that were no longer in use, but this did not seriously delay the construction work.
The basis of the new district heating supply in Bremen-Nord is the use of the unavoidable waste heat from the substitute fuel cogeneration plant in Bremen-Blumenthal. This concept not only conserves resources, but also enables the saving of fossil fuels and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Loud enercity contracting When connecting the district heating network, the focus is on larger heat consumers, including not only companies, but also public buildings and residential areas.
The path to the energy transition
The expansion of the district heating network will then continue in other residential areas and streets if enough households show interest in connecting. This measure is part of a larger movement that is also being pushed forward in other cities in Germany. So emphasized Ramboll that the switch to district heating from renewable energies represents a crucial building block for Germany's energy independence.
In Denmark, for example, more than 65% of households benefit from district heating, with over 75% of this heat coming from renewable sources. In this country, more and more municipalities are beginning to pursue similar strategies in order to significantly reduce CO2 emissions and convert the heat supply. Technologies such as large heat pumps and efficient heating solutions are becoming increasingly important and should also be used in Bremen.
Overall, it shows that the initiative for climate-friendly heat supply in Bremen-Nord is not just a local project, but part of a larger change towards more sustainable energy sources in Germany. It remains to be seen how the residents react to the new offer and whether the project continues to progress as planned.
