Deep Geothermal District Heating

摘要

Cofely District Energy, subsidiary of Cofely UK, has secured £200,000 from Department of Energy and Climate Change's (DECC) Deep Geothermal Challenge Fund to part-fund the refit of the Southampton District Energy Scheme's deep geothermal well. The Southampton District Energy Scheme, operated by Cofely District Energy in partnership with Southampton City Council, has been in operation since 1986 and serves a range of public and private properties in Southampton. It utilises heat from a 1.7 km deep geothermal spring - supplemented by large scale combined heat and power (CHP), biomass and conventional boilers - to generate electrical power, hot water and chilled water (tri-generation).
