Site plan of the Neckarpark urban district showing the heat exchanger in the sewer system, the central heating plant, and the two heating networks.
Since 2013, the new urban district Neckarpark has been developed on the site of the former freight yard brownfield in Stuttgart-Bad Cannstatt. Municipal wastewater serves as the primary energy source for the district heat supply. Its thermal energy is harnessed via a heat pump system and distributed through a low-temperature district heating network. To increase the efficiency of the district heating network, developers were required from the outset to significantly exceed the statutory energy performance requirements for new buildings (minimum standard: KfW Efficiency House 55). At the launch of the project and for several years thereafter, the Neckarpark project - with a thermal extraction capacity of 2,100 kW from wastewater - was by far the largest wastewater heat recovery project in Germany. As such, Neckarpark serves as a nationwide benchmark for sustainable energy supply in urban districts.
