The world is currently in a transition towards energy provision that is less dependent on fossil fuels. This development, which is being encouraged for environmental, political and economic reasons, includes initiatives to exploit local energy sources. Suitable green techniques include the use and storage of residual heat, extracting heat from under the ground, using heat pumps with energy storage, and the use of surface water.

Advantages
If more electricity is obtained from alternative energy sources, this will help cut CO2 emissions and thus mitigate the enhanced greenhouse effect and reduce dependence on countries that produce fossil fuels. Community-based initiatives in the form of town cooling and heating increase the economic feasibility of such projects.

Our activities
We can provide advice on specific town cooling and heating plans, wherever there is an underground dimension. However, our input is not limited to the choice and application of particular techniques. It also includes advice about organisational issues and tariff structures. Sound organisational structures are essential for investing in and managing such systems.
