Peter Evers, co-owner of Bredefleur, explains how we can increasingly heat our location in Luttelgeest with geothermal heat thanks to a heat traffic circle.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n \n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n

At Bredefleur we like to look ahead, to the future of flowers but also to the future of our planet. Therefore we are proud that our location in Luttelgeest now has the possibility for geothermal heat, thanks to the Aardwarmte Combinatie Luttelgeest (ACL). A big step towards sustainable and climate-conscious cultivation.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n \n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n

The power of the heat traffic circle<\/h2>\n
\n

Last year, the heat traffic circle was put into operation. This traffic circle connects several companies in Luttelgeest with each other so that heat can be shared. That sounds simple, but the principle is extremely powerful: where one grower or entrepreneur needs less heat, another can make good use of that heat. In this way, nothing goes to waste and we use the geothermal heat with maximum efficiency.<\/p>\n

Participants in this heat round are four fellow growers with diverse crops and even a farm that serves as an event venue. This very diversity creates a smart balance in heat requirements throughout the year.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n \n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n\n <\/section>\n\n\t\n\n\n

Geothermal heat: extracted locally<\/h2>\n
\n

The geothermal heat in Luttelgeest is extracted at a depth of about 1,800 meters. From that depth, heat is brought to the surface and distributed to the connected companies. The initiative for ACL comes from plant nursery Bernhard Groep and bell pepper grower Tas Paprika. Together they have laid the foundation for a future-oriented heat supply in the region.<\/p>\n

The effect of this step is significant:<\/p>\n
