Fonterra enhanced geothermal system - DG feasibility study
Research and reports
5 October 2010
Fonterra’s Waitoa milk processing plant in the Waikato is currently supplied with process heat by three coal boilers, and with electricity primarily from the grid. This study assessed the potential for an enhanced geothermal project whereby heat can be extracted from hot deep rock structures to meet the site’s heat demand and also generate around 8MW of electricity.
