Bjelovar city in Croatia has successfully concluded a 3.5 million euro ($3.8 million) geothermal water well project, surpassing initial expectations, as announced by the local government. The drilling initiative, which aimed to bolster electricity production from renewable sources, minimize CO2 emissions, and enhance energy security, received financial support totaling 1.3 million euros from Norway, Iceland, and Liechtenstein, with an additional 1.0 million euros from Croatia’s Ministry of Regional Development. Bjelovar city itself financed the remaining 1.2 million euros for the project. The geothermal water well, reaching a depth of 1,290 meters with a deposit temperature of 83 degrees Celsius, will serve multiple purposes, including district heating, agricultural activities, and potentially future swimming pools.
