Energy Generation from Urban Streams and Canals

The city of Augsburg plans to use its urban streams and canals as a sustainable energy source. The joint proposal by the CSU and the Greens will examine the feasibility of heat and cold generation from the water system. This project could make an important contribution to the city's climate goals and provide emission-free energy for schools, administrative buildings, nursing homes, and entire residential neighborhoods. The city administration will review the proposal in the next three months, taking into account the exact technical details and compatibility with the framework conditions as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
