From garden waste to district heating

Local biomass is a sustainable resource, and it provides a significant CO2 reduction  

Using local biomass for energy production is a sustainable way to reduce CO2 emissions. This is due to the way the combustion of biomass only releases the small amount of Co2 which was absorbed by the plant during its growth. Local biomass is not to be mistaken for the importation of wooden pallets over long distances as this has a completely different impact on the environment both locally and globally. Our furnace is capable of gasifying wet and poor qualities of biomass such as garden and park waste.

In this way, garden waste from the city's recycling center can serve as a local resource, providing these benefits:

The resources of the area benefit the local community

A good price stability compared to electricity and natural gas

Reduces the need for transportation

Creates more local jobs

 

Sorø Fjernvarme


"We are proud of our cogeneration plant in Sorø. Sorø Fjernvarme has reduced Co2 emissions by 10.000 tons annually, derived from natural gas. The biomass we use at the plant is part of an annual cycle, as people's gardens grow each year, providing us with a consistent supply of garden waste. Our plant in Sorø also offers more affordable energy to our customers compared to a traditional gas-fired cogeneration plant"
