The airport Munich plans to build a new, third runway. Since runway deicing requires much time and reduces significantly runway availability, thermal deicing has been studied.

Near to Munich Airport, several geothermal and thermal water projects have been developed recently, since geological structures allow extracting water with up to 120°C (250°F). In order to control environmental impact deep and shallow geothermal energy has been assessed, with and without use of heat pumps.
