Europe District Heating Industry News

• In March 2022, Vattenfall inaugurated Carpe Fortum, biofuel heat plant located in Uppsala, Sweden. With the introduction of this plant, carbon dioxide emissions are expected to be reduced by approximately 200,000 tonnes annually, compared to previous usage of peat and other conventional fuels. This significant reduction will effectively halve the climate footprint for the approximately 170,000 residents of Uppsala connected to Vattenfall's district heating grid within the city. In addition, the implementation of the biofuel heat plant demonstrates Vattenfall's commitment to sustainability and marks a significant step towards achieving a more environmentally friendly district heating system in Uppsala.
   
• In December 2022, Göteborg Energi and Svenska kraftnät have recently reached an agreement concerning the Rya combined heat and power plant. Under this agreement, Svenska kraftnät will be granted access to a maximum of 250 MW of electricity capacity in western Sweden during the upcoming winter season. This procurement allowed Svenska kraftnät to utilize the capabilities of the Ryaverket facility for counter trading between electricity areas and grid flow adjustments. Furthermore, the energy supply in Sweden is currently facing vulnerabilities, and this agreement will play a crucial role in enhancing the stability of the electricity grid.
