Berlin's municipal utilities are working on a more sustainable solution. The energy from the wastewater is to supply an area of around 110,000 square meters with the help of large-scale heat pumps.

The project is scheduled for completion in April 2024. Until then, construction will continue on Berlin's Otto-Braun-Straße to supply heat through wastewater. The use of wastewater is a real alternative to the better-known energy sources, says engineer Mathias Kersten, Berliner Stadtwerke.
