Cold Seawater Is Supplying District Heat in Esbjerg, Denmark
Reported byCleanTechnica ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
Esbjerg, Denmark, is using large electric heat pumps to extract heat from the North Sea and supply its district-heating network, delivering 55.2 MW of heat while consuming 19.9 MW of electricity—a coefficient of performance of 2.8—as part of replacing a retired coal-fired combined heat and power plant.
The recorded COP of 2.8 was lower than original project expectations, and full guarantee testing had not been completed when results were published.
