About Geothermal Energy in The Hague 

Martin Hulsebosch, trade officer for the Municipality of The Hague: "The Hague offers different geothermal assets. In addition to the Rijswijk Centre for Sustainable Geo-Energy, The Hague has another unique geothermal asset: one of the world’s few inner-city geothermal production installations. This facility, Haagse Aardwarmte Leyweg (HAL), is a 7 MW doublet (a production and injection well) that produces heat at 76 degrees Celsius from a depth of two kilometers, which is used to heat homes in the neighborhood of the plant. Yet another local geothermal force to be reckoned is the horticultural sector. The region of The Hague is the center of the world-famous Dutch greenhouses, which are a key factor in making the Netherlands, despite its small size, one of the largest food exporters in the world. The horticultural sector is highly energy-intensive and has long relied on natural gas as its main heating fuel.”
