First climate-neutral district heating network launched for Bremen-Nord!

First climate-neutral district heating network launched for Bremen-Nord!

Something is happening in Blumenthal: Bremen-Nord is about to have its first climate-friendly district heating supply, which is due to go into operation this year. Loud City and factory A considerable amount of work has already been done. Around 2.4 kilometers of cable have already been laid and the first major customers are in the starting blocks. These include the North Health Hospital and the initial reception center for refugees on Lindenstrasse. Both will soon be supplied with climate-neutral heat.

Senator Kathrin Moosdorf, who is responsible for the environment, climate and science, recently informed herself about the progress of this important project. The project is supported by the company enercity Contracting Nord, which would like to make a decisive contribution to reducing greenhouse gases with this project. The basis for this is the unused and unavoidable waste heat from the substitute fuel cogeneration plant in Bremen-Blumenthal, reports Energy Contracting.

Environmentally friendly heat supply in focus

Laying the main lines is just the beginning. The plan is to connect other larger heat consumers, such as public buildings and residential areas. These steps are crucial for saving fossil fuels and achieving climate goals. Marc Hansmann, board member of enercity, emphasizes the central role of a climate-friendly heating network for the future and points to the company's valuable experience in decarbonizing the heat supply.

In addition, the construction work encountered a number of obstacles - old pipes that were no longer in use had to be checked during the work. However, after the inspection, construction continued smoothly. A second construction phase is also being planned, which aims to connect additional streets.

A key to the energy transition

District heating networks are viewed as a key technology for achieving climate goals - especially in urban areas such as Bremen. The challenge is to advance the heating sector and enable a safe, affordable exit from fossil fuels. Loud Aquatherm The decarbonization of district heating is a central challenge that is also receiving international attention. In addition to expanding heating networks, the integration of renewable energies and effective storage solutions are required to reduce emissions.

The plans for Bremen-Nord already show how the course can be set for a sustainable future. This will not only revolutionize the regional heat supply, but also make an important contribution to the global energy transition. The coming months will show how successfully this initiative can be implemented in practice and what positive effects it will have for the entire region.
