"The IKAV Group, which also operates the geothermal power plant on Eutzinger Strasse, intends to drill another doublet (= drilling site) in the south-western area of the future D12 - on the same land where Vulcan is planning the lithium extraction plant - in parallel with the expansion of the district heating networks and to connect it to the existing site."
"This additional borehole would double the thermal potential of IKAV, which in turn would enable the district heating supply to be expanded at a later date."
"Due to the scarcity of space in the D12 and the large number of emerging wells in Vulcan's exploration permit area, the administration has worked to ensure that both companies cooperate and that IKAV concentrates on areas outside the D12 (in the outer area south of the D12, east of Ebenberg) when looking for locations for further drilling sites in its exploration area."
