Akershus Energi, Norwegian hydropower company , would have built the most modern area of Europe with regard to heating systems . The technology development has however nothing exceptional except that it combines different environmental technologies making plant so special . The energy sources used come from the region : wood chips , waste, energy and sewage from less than an hour’s drive from the factory.
70 % of the energy production of the heating plant will come from burning wood chips . The energy used to heat the water will then be sent directly to the customer and then stored in a ” vacuum “giant (thermal capacity of 1 200 000 liters) . As said Marius Holm of the environmental NGO BELLONA ” this project aims to provide a valuable experience in how the activity of the plant, technology and economy “.
The plant will be in full operation in 2015 . The energy capacity of the latter is estimated at 160 GWh , equivalent to the heating needs of 150,000 households in the area around Lillestrom . However, in the coming months , the plant already over 50 % of its ultimate capacity . Frank Sagvik , Akershus Energipark CEO , said that “the heat is set to replace fuel oil and electric heaters . A conservative estimate is that CO2 emissions [with this new energy park ] would reduce 30,000 tons per year. ”
