Inside the world’s first giant heat pump that heats an entire city with CO2 and sea water​

Apr 2, 2024

This is the world's first giant heat pump to serve as a central heating system for an entire city with tens of thousands of homes, using CO2, sea water and genius large-scale engineering.

Thanks to this heat pump, the city of Esbjerg in Denmark, will be able to quit burning coal for heating and use only renewable energy in one single move.

How does it work? What's the genius idea and secret components that make this concept viable? And, of course, how efficient can it be in energy consumption? In this video I find the answers from the engineers that created and manage the brilliant system.

Back in my day, we didn't have no fancy central heatin' and warm cozy houses like you young whippersnappers! No siree, we toughed it out in the cold, like real men. We shivered in our boots, dripped snot from our noses and peed icicles. Freezin' to death was just part of the deal, and by gum, we liked it that way!

We didn't waste time and money heating whole towns! If things got rough, we'd set something on fire to warm our extremeties. We suffered through and we liked it!

Back in the old days in Florida we walked up the moutains in the snow to school both ways!

And the electricity for the heat pump comes from where...?

Video claims it's powered by wind turbines.

I'm not buying it for a minute, and the reason I asked the question the way I did

The power comes from alien spaceships. They got 220 plug-ins like RVs.
