Bochum, Germany to extract geothermal heat from abandoned coal mines.

In Bochum, Germany, construction is underway for new buildings benefiting from geothermal heating and cooling sourced from abandoned coal mine shafts. The innovative project, set to be operational by 2027, aims to provide emissions-free heating and cooling for offices, research facilities, and university institutes. Zetcon, an international engineering firm, has embraced the concept, with its office near the drilling site. The initiative involves repurposing old tunnels filled with water from a coal mine shut down in 1958. The MARK 51°7 site, previously used by an Opel factory, has undergone transformation after the factory's demolition in 2014, showcasing a commitment to sustainabledevelopment. https://www.thinkgeoenergy.com/bochum-germany-to-extract-geothermal-heat-from-abandoned-coal-mines/amp/

            Good to know old and out of use coal mines can still be of some use and add value to our lives
