About
Wärme für Bernau is a government headquartered in Bernau bei Berlin, Germany specializing in Geothermal.
Wärme für Bernau is a municipal heating transition project led by Stadtwerke Bernau (Bernau utilities) in Bernau bei Berlin, Germany. The initiative focuses on developing sustainable heat supply through deep geothermal energy to replace fossil fuel dependency and achieve climate neutrality by 2045. A deep geothermal plant is planned in the Schönfelder Weg industrial area with drilling depth of approximately 1,460 meters. The system will extract thermal brine from underground layers (Pliensbach-Sequenz, Hettang, and Schaumkalk), heat it to 95°C via heat exchanger and heat pump, and feed it into the existing district heating network in a closed-loop system. The project aims to supply 40% of Bernau's current heating demand through expanded renewable heat networks, with 30% sustainable heat generation required by 2030. The initiative includes comprehensive heat planning involving demand analysis, renewable energy potential assessment, economic feasibility studies, and transformation pathways toward greenhouse gas neutrality.
