Pieter Varekamp , councilor for muscularity transition for the municipality of Westland , gave the fleeceable light for the Maasdijk Geothermal Heat Project on Tuesday , March 8 by position a trough element with a caterpillar crane . The task is mainly aimed at horticulturalists in the region , who choose to heat up 4,3 km2 of greenhouses sustainably . It is also aimed at resident physician who no longer wish to use instinctive gas . On the construction land site conductor have already been placed at a depth of 145 meters to start the next form - the drilling - to take blank space .
From left to right : Jacco Besuijen ( chairman of Maasdijk heat cooperation ) , Tarek Hopman ( business developer at HVC ) , alderman Pieter Varekamp ( municipality of Westland ) and Marco van Soerland ( director of heat at HVC ) .
In improver to the councilor , Dion van Steensel ( general manager of HVC ) and Jacco Besuijen ( chairman of the Maasdijk heat cooperation add-in ) were also present at the kick - off . As executor and investor of the task , HVC contributes to the realisation of the heat changeover in the Westland region . This is done in cooperation with the Maasdijk hotness co-op .

Aardwarmte Maasdijk is a coaction between heat concerted Maasdijk and HVC to stimulate and realize sustainable heat for and with greenhouse company in the Westland region , the Netherlands . " Together with our members , we are look for affordable choice that reduce the use of fossil fuels . We underscore the pauperism for sustainability and as growers , together with HVC we want to put our shoulders to the steering wheel " , tell Jacco Besuijen of the growers ' co-op .
Strong and safeHVC always modernise a geothermal heat source in collaboration with the municipality and the local arena . Together we look for a suitable location . Dion van Steensel : " There has to be enough place both above and below ground . We also check whether there are sufficient client who can make habit of geothermal heat . "
For the retiring two class , the resident of the geothermal location have been involved in the ontogeny of a potential geothermic project . As the realization of the 6 geothermal well catch close , the environmental consultation with house physician will be more intensive .
Reliable alternativeAlderman Pieter Varekamp states that geothermic heat is a true , sustainable , and affordable source of vim . " From a sustainability point of view , geothermic heat was started in Westland . And give the uncertainness , both availability and price of current fossil reservoir , geothermal heat is now even more interesting . With the start of work on the geothermal heat germ and the realisation of the heat cluster , geothermal rut becomes wide available . And that is good for the future of glasshouse horticulture in Westland . "
HVC opens locationHVC has also opened an billet in De Lier . " The heating from a residential area is relatively small compare to greenhouse horticulture . link a residential area to a heating plant system can sure be interesting . Collaborations that drive horticulture , project developers , Westland municipality , and HVC . With the opening of the office we underline our approaching " , says Dion van Steensel .
How does it work?Geothermal heating system is strong body of water pump from the ground and used to hot up family , greenhouses , and buildings . Two wells are require for this , also cognise as doublets . In one well H2O is pumped up , where a heat exchanger extracts the heat . In the other well , the cooled water is pumped back into the earth . The heat is distributed via the local heating system net for use in homes , building , and greenhouses . course , this is done safely . With the industriousness - received Sustainable Well Design , the sphere guarantees that geothermal hotness can be take out safely and responsibly without hazard to the drinking water supply .
Trias Westland in NaaldwijkHVC previously realized , in cooperation with various party , the geothermic heat project Trias Westland with two geothermal heat wells at a deepness of 2.3 kilometers in Naaldwijk . Trias Westland is a geothermic warmth fellowship for enterpriser in Westland nursery horticulture . The heat produced by Trias Westland is append to horticulturalists and menage ( Lierkwartier ) in the immediate neck of the woods . The cooperation with entrepreneur in the approaching of Trias Westland has lead in a big backing bag among greenhouse gardening companionship , governments , and moneyman .
