Discover Termonet Danmark
A termonet is a supply network of uninsulated pipes that transports thermal energy from various types of energy sources across multiple properties at a temperature relatively close to ground temperature. In combination with ground source heat pumps, a termonet can provide heating and hot water. Imagine being able to use the natural chill or warmth of the ground to actively cool with a heat pump or passively cool without one… Termonet Danmark works to promote the dissemination of these innovative networks—think of them as a collective ground heating system, yet they offer so much more. As an association, Termonet Danmark brings together public and semi-public authorities, utility companies, private companies, representatives from the research community, and individuals passionate about a greener future.

- Related Projects: 25 related projects
- Running Projects: 10 running projects
- Active Members: 160 active members
Selected Projects and Collaborative Efforts
Selected projects provide a snapshot of the innovation and dedication among the association’s members. These projects showcase how termonets are being used in diverse ways to deliver heating, hot water, and cooling solutions. The projects, ranging from pilot tests to full-scale implementations, highlight the collaborative spirit of the community. Forums for dialogue and exchange among relevant actors have been established, enabling cooperative partnerships that might never have occurred without this coordinated effort. The exchange of data and compiling of information play a crucial role in furthering the understanding of thermal networks, and these efforts ensure that the collective know-how continues to grow.
Purpose for a Greener Future
The purpose of Termonet Danmark is clear: to promote the spread of termonets in a non-profit way, contributing to the transition towards more climate-friendly solutions. With a clear focus on sustainability, the association acts as a catalyst in several ways. It provides resources and initiates cooperation between various stakeholders; it creates forums for productive dialogue and information exchange; and it collects, processes, and disseminates data that collectively enhance knowledge about thermal networks. This strategic sharing of insights helps accelerate the move away from oil and gas boilers as well as environmentally harmful air conditioning systems.
Energy Transition and Sustainable Benefits
Using naturally moderated ground temperature, a termonet system paired with modern ground source heat pumps can supply heat, hot water, and even active cooling. The combination of these technologies has shown to be competitive in pilot projects, offering a viable alternative that both supports and accelerates the phase-out of traditional energy sources. This solution not only promises a more sustainable future but also creates synergies between the needs for heating and cooling, paving the way for responsible consumption and production. The progressive approach of Termonet Danmark helps in forming solid bridges between innovation, sustainable cities and communities, and the modern demands for energy that is affordable and accessible.
Innovative Energy Solutions
The work undertaken by Termonet Danmark highlights the potential of termonets to revolutionize the energy infrastructure. By integrating smart design with current energy-efficient technologies, termonets allow for the efficient distribution of heat and cooling over large networks. Their application goes beyond simple heating; it provides distinct advantages that support infrastructure growth and stimulate economic development. Constant innovation is evident in how these networks are implemented across diverse projects, fostering chances to create decent jobs and drive innovation in a variety of sectors. The association’s robust and action-oriented partnership highlights how meeting points for different actors can work together to bring innovative energy solutions to life… all in the pursuit of a more sustainable society.
