Mórahalom, Hungary
Mórahalom is a small town situated 21 km from Szeged, the administrative center of Csongrad County. It is one of the 50 most disadvantaged settlements of Hungary, but at the same time, in the past 10 years it has been one of the 10 most dynamically developing settlements. There is no district heating in Morahalom. For space heating the private houses are connected to the gas grid or they use gas bottles, coal, wood, or oil stoves, while the public institutions have their own heating stations. The annual amount of gas for the 1,599 consumer households is app. 2,360 thousand m3.
The CONCERTO approach
The purpose of the CONCERTO project is to demonstrate total utilisation of geothermal energy. Therefor it is proposed that the cascade system is retrofitted and complemented with a new element . The auxiliary power demand of 60 kW for the heat-pump heating station will be met by trapping of methane of the new abstraction well of the cascade system, while the electric power produced by trapping of the methane of the B40 well at the spa will be used at the Thermal Spa.
As part of the retrofitting elements public buildings will be refurbished: the Mora Cultural Centre, School and Gymnasium, and the Kindergarten - Day-care Centre Complex.
On the currently neglected slum-type area in the town's southern part, Morahalom plans the establishment of a "New Town Centre", which will be an example to follow even on international level, by maximally taking into consideration the local energy source features. The "New Town Centre" will include a new Town Hall, service and public institutions, and 12 large and small dwelling units (Thermal Residential Park).
