Geothermtal anti-icing system under investigation

摘要

Aresearch project in Norway is investigating whether geothermal energy can be used to keep bridges free of ice in the winter, with the intention of reducing the use of salt and grit on highways. The research is being done by Josef Johnsson at Chalmers Technical University in Sweden, in collaboration with the E39 ferry-free project in Norway. Johnsson has built a full-scale test track in 0stersund in Sweden and is eagerly anticipating the arrival of the winter weather to begin his testing programme.
