A solar thermal installation for Ejstrupholm District Heating

Today much of green energy is subsidized to compete with existing fossil fuels. But with political instability, the continuing financial crises, combined with the increasing lack of taxes from fossil fuels and the shift towards renewable energy, public subsidy will ultimately be affected in the future. Favor will be on those energy alternatives that are sustainable from both a financial and environmental point of view

Ejstrupholm District Heating will soon benefit from this advantage too. Already in June 2011 a 6.243m2 solar thermal plant will start running in the Danish town Ejstrupholm. The solar heating system is a supplement to the existing heating systems in Ejstrupholm and will consist of solar collectors with accumulation tank and heat exchange station.

Collector area: 6243m2
Annual energy production: 2840MWh
Annual oil savings: 341 tons oil
CO2 reduction: 1100 tons
