Jämtlands Värme AB

Background

The district heating plant in Strömsund is owned by Jämtlands Värme AB, which in recent years has modernized the plant to enable fully fossil-free district heating production. As part of this initiative, Jämtlands Värme invested in an ORC turbine connected to their hot water boiler fueled by residues from forestry. The investment not only reduces electricity and grid costs but also strengthens the company’s efforts toward increased climate neutrality.

Our solution

Againity delivered an automated ORC system with a maximum capacity of 99.9 kW of electricity production. The ORC system enables electricity generation from the hot water produced by the boiler. In total, the system is expected to produce 683 MWh annually, corresponding to emission savings of 614 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents when replacing European marginal electricity. Jämtlands Värme AB has chosen to sign a service agreement with Againity to ensure a long lifespan and minimal maintenance.
