The future of district heating

In the Danish city of Esbjerg MAN Energy Solutions and utility company DIN Forsyning are building a giant heat pump solution that will provide climate-neutral heat for 100,000 inhabitants. Watch how the solution works and why it’s a blueprint for other cities.

This is so damn coo! I wish the US would innovate like this but we're too ass backward to do anything this amazing.

and what COP can you achieve? Which mass flow of water and which temperature difference?
How do you clean the surface of the sea water heat exchanger? How do you filter the water?

I’m very interested in the COP of a heat pump like this. Are you able to share?
