Start of construction for district heating in Eppendorf: traffic and trees affected!

In Hamburg-Eppendorf there is a comprehensive expansion of the district heating supply. The work begins in autumn and promise a significant improvement in energy supply for citizens. But there is also an impairment of traffic over the coming years. This canceled NDR.

The new route will extend over three kilometers, starting from the Grindelpark to the Klosterallee/Isestrasse intersection. In this way, the line is laid in the densely built -up area and even has to cross the ISEBEC Canal on the listed monastery alleys. Underground laying of the line is not possible here, which is why the pipeline is installed on the footpath. As part of the construction work, an approximately 100 meter long bench is built over the bridge to dress up the new line.

An important step for the energy transition

The expansion of district heating is not just a structural measure, but a step towards a sustainable energy future for Hamburg. According to the Hamburg energy plants, it is essential to design heat generation and distribution regardless of fossil fuels in order to achieve the climate goals. The construction of the new district heating line in Eimsbüttel and Eppendorf is a central measure to ensure security of supply. Hamburger Energiewerke describes the additional distribution network capacities that should enable the heat distribution from south of Hamburg to Eppendorf and Eimsbüttel.

A look at climate policy shows that Hamburg is on the right track. By 2030, district heating is almost completely switched to climate -friendly energies. The city has set itself the goal of increasing the proportion of renewable or climate -neutral heat to at least 50% by 2030 and reducing the coal content to zero by 2030 at the latest. Hamburg.de informs about the changeover to large-scale heat pumps and the use of waste heat from the industry, which integrates into this plan are.

traffic and environmental protection in focus

The construction work not only has progress in energy supply, but also challenges. Numerous parking spaces are eliminated to lay the new management, and some trees have to give way. The residents and drivers have to adapt to disabled traffic flows while the construction work is progressing.

Nevertheless, the long -term vision remains in view: With the implementation of these district heating projects, Hamburg makes an important contribution to the energy transition. The city is set to maximize the indirect influence of the energy transition on CO2 savings and continuously promote the use of renewable energies. Society and companies are called up to actively participate in this development and to recognize the associated advantages.
