Projects
EnerTrans is currently developing a number of projects, including the ones mentioned below.
(Additional projects relating to district heating networks sourced with geotheral heat are being developed jointly with Yeager Energy - see Strategic Partnerships)

"ROTTERDAM SCHIEBROEK AARDGASVRIJ"
This project relates to the Rotterdam area Schiebroek. Between now and 2035 over 10.000 houses will be disconnnected from the fossil gas heating grid. In order to enable this Entertrans is developing a district heating network in cooporation with the local stakeholders.
In the initial phase the main source will be residual heat from data centers in combination with collective heat pumps powered by green electricity. Additional heat sources are being investigated. This includes geothermal heat from exploration licenses held by Engie/Hydreco GeoMec and Shell.
EnerTrans is leading the project. Key stakeholders include the housing corporations. For them it is essential to secure heat delivery to their tenants at acceptable pricing and high comfort levels.

# heat (sub)stations 40
-
# B2C, homes > 10.000 (single family homes + apartments)
-
# B2B > 350 (includes businesses, health/elderly care, schools, offices)
-
Total heat demand 450.000 GJ / annum
-
Production capacity > 100 MWth
-
Project capex > € 100M
-
Roll-out from 2021until 2030/2035

GILZE-RIJEN DISTRICT HEATING
EnterTrans initiated this project is cooperation with the municipality. As part of the local heat transition plan - and based on the input of external advisors - it was concluded that for a major part of the region Gilze-Rijen requires a 'high temperature solution'.
The project is being jointly developed with the main housing corporation and the local business community. The military airbase at Gilze-Rijen also seeks a sustainable solution which may result in connecting to the scheme.
The initial intention was to generate heat from local biomass (mainly wood chips). For the biomass plant a multi-million SDE subsidy has been granted by the Dutch goverment. This allows for subsidized heat for the residents of the municipality. However, recent discussions about the sustainabilty of wood based schemes have led to the decision not to use this heat source. Therefore
new sources are being investigated, including geothermal heat.
