Geothermal Energy System – Yeager Energy Bergschenhoek
Yeager Energy is actively contributing to the sustainability of greenhouse horticulture in Bergschenhoek through a deep geothermal energy system, together with partners such as AgroEnergy and local consumers. Since 2018, we’ve been supplying sustainable heat to the horticultural cluster in Overbuurtse Polder via a district heating network.
Bergschenhoek
Geothermal source connected to a local or regional district heating network
In the Overbuurtse Polder in Bergschenhoek, at Warmoeziersweg 56, one of our deep geothermal energy systems is located. Here, we extract renewable energy from deep-earth heat.
Together with AgroEnergy, we supply heat to several greenhouse horticulture companies in the region. The system has been operational since 2018 and plays a central role in the local cluster’s sustainability.
The geothermal source is about 2,000 meters deep and extracts formation water at approximately 60 °C from sandstone layers. Heat is transferred through a district heating network to connected greenhouses.
After heat extraction, the cooled formation water is reinjected into the subsurface in a closed-loop, where it's reheated. This creates a sustainable system delivering over 100,000 MWh of heat annually.
