Valmet’s delivery will include a 140 MWth Valmet BFV Boiler plant utilizing bubbling fluidized bed technology as well as a flue gas cleaning system and flue gas condensing system. Valmet will also deliver a boiler building and piping to connect the new boiler to the existing steam turbine, and provide operations and maintenance services.
Once operational, the facility will be fueled primarily by forest residues and recycled wood chips. Startup of the plant is scheduled for 2025.
“The new plant is a milestone for us and the last step in our conversion of district heating,” said Per-Anders Gustafsson, CEO of Göteborg Energi. “With the new facility, we will get rid of natural gas and can offer our customers 100 percent renewable and recovered energy in our district heating. We look forward to cooperating with Valmet in this key project.”
“We are very proud to continue our long and close cooperation with Göteborg Energi,” said Antti Laaksonlaita, director, energy plant solutions, Valmet. “The plant itself will certainly be a state-of-the-art showcase of how sustainable resources can be turned into energy with the highest efficiency. It is great to work together with Göteborg Energi and take its operations forward.”
