Denmark: Geothermal Pioneer Urges More Direct Use

Interview with Søren Berg Lorenzen, Managing Director, Danish Geothermal District Heating (GeoPower & Heat Summit)

This fits very nicely with the fact that the need for heating in many countries – especially in the more temperate climates – is in fact much higher than the electricity demand. So a greater focus on direct use – also within the industry – would be very beneficial.
