Vulcan Energie Secures €100 Million for Geothermal Heating Project in Landau

Vulcan Energie has received up to €100 million in government funding to advance the HEAT4LANDAU project, which aims to decarbonize Landau’s district heating network with geothermal energy. Supported by Germany’s Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection and the EU’s Recovery and Resilience Facility, the funding will finance infrastructure capable of generating 255 MW of geothermal power. The project includes expanding Vulcan’s geothermal plants in Landau and Insheim, with renewable energy expected as early as the 2024-2025 heating season. The initiative is part of Vulcan’s larger “Lionheart” phase, promoting sustainable district heating.
