Frankfurt Airport owner planning geothermal plant

In Germany, the owner and operator of Frankfurt Airport, Fraport, is exploring the possibility of developing a deep geothermal power plant in Walldorf, Germany. Once and if it is built, the plant would use a combination of geothermal power and biogas to produce electricity and heat, which would be used at the airport. D & S Geo Innogy and Daldrup & Söhne, through a joint venture between RWE Innogy and Daldrup & Söhne, will develop, plan and construct the station. A series of seismic explorations will be conducted over the next few months in the Walldorf field, which belongs geologically to the Upper Rhine Rift.
