In the future, the thermal water extracted from a depth of 1296 meters at a temperature of 56 degrees will be pumped to the heat exchangers. Later, the energy will be used to generate 82-degree heating water in heat pumps. The energy supplier plans to supply up to 2,000 households with environmentally friendly thermal energy from April 2023. The multi-million project in the Lankow district is the first of its kind in Europe. Photo: Jens Büttner/dpa. - Schwerin/Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania/Germany
