德国下萨克森州的矿业、能源和地质州立办公室（LBEG）已经授予施泰特韦克·诺德斯泰特（StadtwerkeNorderstedt）在诺德斯泰特许可区进行商业地热能勘探的许可。施泰特韦克·诺德斯泰特在这个领域看到了实施深层地热项目用于商业用途的机会。

诺德斯泰特许可区位于石勒苏益格-荷尔斯泰因州的平内贝格和塞格贝格地区，面积约为9.3平方公里。该许可最初限制为从2023年9月1日至2025年8月31日的两年。

施泰特韦克·诺德斯泰特去年12月提交了地热能勘探许可申请。在LBEG审查了申请并给予受影响地区的机会发表意见并通知相关市镇之后，现在已经授予了许可。这只是给予施泰特韦克·诺德斯泰特进行勘探的基本权利。实际的勘探活动只能在获得矿业法下的运营计划批准后进行，其中包括需要进行单独参与程序。

诺德斯泰特许可区是LBEG近年来授予的地热勘探许可证列表中的一部分。LBEG现在已经发放了16个这样的许可证-其中14个在下萨克森州，一个在汉堡，现在又一个在石勒苏益格-荷尔斯泰因州。我们之前曾报道过授予蒙斯特和巴德贝文森的许可证，以及索尔陶和乌尔岑的许可证。

2021年，下萨克森州政府宣布了一项促进地热能的运动，其中包括市政公用事业和能源供应商的参与。除了作为矿业管理机构的职能外，LBEG还是下萨克森州地热服务（NGD），为近地表和深层地热能提供技术中立和经济独立的咨询，并创建和维护地球科学基础。

LBEG强调地热能作为可再生能源的重要性，并定期为公众和专业观众提供活动，例如9月15日和16日星期五和星期六在汉诺威的LBEG总部举办的“地热能日”。

TheStateOffice for Mining, Energy and Geology(LBEG) of Lower Saxony in Germany has granted StadtwerkeNorderstedtthe permission to explore for geothermal energy for commercial purposes in the Norderstedt license area. Stadtwerke Norderstedt sees opportunities in this field to implement deep geothermal projects for heat generation for commercial use.

TheNorderstedt license area is located in Schleswig-Holstein, in the districts of Pinneberg and Segeberg, and measures around 9.3 square kilometers in area. The permission is initially limited to two years from 1st of September 2023 to 31st of August 2025.

StadtwerkeNorderstedt submitted the application for permission to explore for geothermal energy in December last year. After the LBEG examined the application and gave the districts affected by the area the opportunity to comment and informed the relevant municipalities, it has now granted the permit. This only gives Stadtwerke Norderstedt the basic right to carry out the search. Actual exploration activities may only take place after approval of operating plans under mining law, for which, among other things, a separate participation procedure is necessary.

TheNorderstedt license area adds to a growing list of geothermal exploration permits that the LBEG has granted in the last few years. The LBEG has now issued 16 of these permits – 14 in Lower Saxony, one in Hamburg, and now another one in Schleswig-Holstein. We had reported previously on the permits granted for Munsterand Bad Bevensen,as well as in Soltauand Uelzen.

In2021, the State of Lower Saxony announceda campaign to promote geothermalas part of the energy transition movement with the involvement of municipal utilities and energy providers. In addition to its capacity as a mining authority, the LBEG is also the Lower Saxony Geothermal Service (NGD), which provides technically neutral and economically independent advice on near-surface and deep geothermal energy and creates and maintains geoscientific foundations.

TheLBEG underlines the importance of geothermal energy as a regenerative energy source and regularly offers events for the general public and specialist audiences – such as the “Geothermal Energy Day” on Friday and Saturday, September 15th and 16th, at the LBEG headquarters in the Stilleweg 2, in Hanover.
