Presentation Transcript

  1. Global Geothermal Trends, Case Studies of Combined RE Technologies & The REN Alliance Supported by: Marietta Sander Executive Directorofthe IGA c/o Bochum University of Applied Sciences, Germany Vancouver, Renewable Cities Global Learning Forum, 14 May 2015 The IGA is one of the five REN Alliance partners

  2. Global Geothermal Trends: • 5 Top geothermal power producersare: USA, Philippines, Indonesia, Mexico, New Zealand • Direct use applications exist in 82 countries • Geothermal direct use applications for heating are growing in northern hemisphere (Sweden, Denmark, China are forerunners) • Increasingly, geothermal heat is fed into district heating networks (>230 networks in Europe) and/ or supplies larger public complexes (malls, offices) • Technological advances open up opportunities for countries not so well equipped with resources (binary systems, Enhanced Geothermal Systems) Geothermal global installed capacity in 2015: 12.6 GW (Bertani 2015)

  3. Solar–Geothermal seasonal storage: Drake Landing, Alberta, Canada • Conept: Store solar energy underground during summer months + distribute energy to each home for space heating needs during winter months • 800 solar panels generate 1.5 MW thermalper summer day • 52 houses space & water heating • 144 boreholes with 2.25 m distance • In summer heat is transferredinto soil + rock and approaches 80°C by end of summer Figure: Solar seasonal storage and district loop Source: www.dlsc.ca Marietta Sander – Renewable Cities Global Learning Forum – 14 May 2015

  4. Geothermal uses in the Ruhr area, Germany Exzenter house in Bochum is heated and cooled with geothermal energy (39 wells, Borehole heat exchangers for heat and cold storage, 5.000m2 office space on 15 floors At the former coal mine Robert Müser the City Utility of Bochum & RAG pump mine water to the surface, use heat pumps and supply a school and fire station with heat GEOSTAR drilling project provides the International Geothermal Centre, Bochum with heating & cooling: 17 borehole heat exchangers, 200m depth Marietta Sander – Renewable Cities Global Learning Forum – 14 May 2015

  5. Sonderborg municipality, Denmark • In the Sonderborg municipality, the ProjectZero initiative aims to convert the municipality into a ZERO carbon community until 2029 (77,000 inhabitants, 440,000 pigs, 250,000 hens • ProjectZero is a PPP created in 2007 by the swedish utility company Danfoss, DONG Energy, the Sonderborg Municipality and the Nordea Bank-Foundation • Focus is on sustainable growth, green jobs, reducing waste, rethinking electricity and transport • Combined Heat & Power district heating system using geothermal, gas turbines, waste incineration District heating system Geothermal well Woodchips for the CHP plant Marietta Sander – Renewable Cities Global Learning Forum – 14 May 2015

  6. History:REN Alliance was formed during the Bonn 2004 International Renewable Energy Conference • Aims: • To advance policy • To provide information on renewables with a combined voice • To bridge the gap between policy & practice • To advice decision makers • Areas of work: • Technical input & recommendations on the set-up & use of the Global Climate Fund • Actively contribute to climate change negotiations (UNFCCC) with side events, interviews and booth • Collaboration partners: • International bodies like UN entities, UNFCCC, IRENA, ILO, REN21, etc. • Instruments: • Presentations, side events, webinars, press releases, website REN Alliance(International Renewable Energy Alliance
