Stock Photo - 23 February 2023, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Schwerin: In the future, the 56-degree thermal water extracted from a depth of 1296 meters will be pumped to the heat exchangers through the blue plastic pipes in the thermal solenoid room of the deep geothermal power plant of the Schwerin municipal utility. 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
