8 The Underground Act main principles The underground and its resources belongs to the Danish State Any underground activity requires a license All data and knowledge acquired must be handed over to the national geological survey Pictures: DONG Energy, Sønderborg Fjernvarme

9 Licenses (August 2013) Source: The Danish Energy Agency

10 Geological data are essential Source: The National Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS)

11 The Heat Supply Act main principles Heat supply is heavily regulated Municipal heat planning is central Strong consumer protection little room for profits All projects must demonstrate a positive impact on the economy of society Pictures: Logstor, Rambøll Denmark

12 Danish energy targets By 2050 the Danish energy supply must be 100 % renewable (power and heat production already in 2035) This will be accomplished by increasing energy efficiency and substituting fossil fuels with wind, biomass, solar, geothermal, etc.

13 Energy Agreement District heating plays a central role in the shift from fossil fuels to renewable energies MDKK 35,0 (MEUR 4,7) is set aside for the advancement of new renewable energy technologies (including geothermal energy, large heat pumps, etc.) in the DH sector in

14 National analyses on geothermal energy WebGIS database Different methods of risk alleviation Screening of 27 DH areas Manual on geothermal energy projects Geothermal energy in the DH systems

15 Financing geothermal energy in Denmark Project description Municipal guarantee The local municipality The district heating company (Competitive) financing

26 Experiences so far what are the risks? The risks are mainly related to geology and water chemistry: Local geology can vary a lot from regional geology (Sønderborg) Knowledge of the location of faults is crucial Permeability varies a lot and is generally too low at depths > 2,500 m (Aars, Farsø, lower part of Thisted) Temperature is generally easier to predict, but can vary due to local geology (Aars, Farsø, Amager, Sønderborg) Prices in the oil & gas industry (rigs, services and consumables) fluctuates a lot Perforations are more flexible during construction, but screens and gravel packs give better sand control and is less vulnerable to soft acidizing Water chemistry is important the surface plant must have design pressure above bubble point, and proper cooling of the geothermal fluid is important to avoid precipitation of CaSO 4 (which can though be removed by soft acidizing)

27 Investments and risk Risik level / Acc. investments High Moderate Low Interpreted seismic survey and geological prognosis 1 st well tested 2 nd well tested Accumulated investments Very low Time Geophysical (seismic) survey Drilling wells Surface plant Operations

28 Requirements for risk alleviation Permanent setup Transparent conditions Flexible with regards to risk level Must cover all investments (phases) Acceptable premiums Based on knowledge of Danish geology and production framework
