Turkey could cut its gas imports by 20 percent using geothermal energy, which could meet 30 percent of Turkey's heating needs for district heating, according to Danish Consul General Anette Snedgaard Galskjot.
District energy is an energy system that can provide economic and sustainable energy to an entire city or whole district using surplus energy from power plants or renewable sources.
The model used in Denmark is an example to emulate, where savings of 40 percent or more have been made for households, a level considered extremely high, Galskjot was cited by Anadolu Agency (AA) as saying.
In Denmark, 69 percent of the total population uses district heating while this percentage is close to 100 percent in Copenhagen, she said.
Denmark wants to make more advances in district heating, and Turkey is also interested in developing this system more, she explained.
